意思
It is raining very hard.
文化背景
Rain is often welcomed by 'houbaři' (mushroom hunters). After it 'lije jako z konve', the forests fill with people looking for porcini. The 'konev' is still a staple in every 'zahrádka' (little garden). It's a symbol of hard work and self-sufficiency. St. Medard (June 8th) is the patron of rain. If it rains on his day, it will 'lít jako z konve' for 40 days. In cities like Prague or Brno, this phrase is used to complain about public transport delays caused by storms.
Use 'Leje' for extra points
Using 'Leje' instead of 'Lije' makes you sound much more like a local in casual settings.
Don't use for snow
Even if it's a blizzard, never use 'lít'. Use 'sypat' or 'padat'.
