解析 Bewölkt in your Level:
At the A1 level, 'bewölkt' is a basic vocabulary word used to describe the weather. Learners should focus on the simple sentence structure 'Es ist bewölkt.' This is usually taught in the first few weeks alongside other weather terms like 'sonnig' (sunny) and 'regnerisch' (rainy). The goal is to be able to understand a simple weather forecast and answer basic questions about the current conditions. You don't need to worry about complex adjective endings yet; just focus on using it after 'ist'. It's a key word for survival German, as weather is a primary topic of conversation. Practice saying it clearly, focusing on the 'ö' sound, which can be tricky for beginners. Remember that 'bewölkt' comes from 'Wolke' (cloud), which helps in memorizing the root of the word. At this stage, you just need to know that it means 'cloudy'.
At the A2 level, you start to expand your use of 'bewölkt' by adding adverbs. You might say 'Es ist heute sehr bewölkt' or 'Es ist ein bisschen bewölkt.' You also begin to use it in the past tense: 'Gestern war es bewölkt.' This level introduces the idea of adjective endings in simple phrases, like 'ein bewölkter Tag.' You should be able to understand more detailed weather reports that might say 'Am Vormittag bewölkt, später sonnig.' You are also learning to compare weather conditions, such as 'Heute ist es bewölkter als gestern.' The focus is on building more descriptive sentences and integrating the word into daily routines, like deciding what to wear based on the cloud cover. You might also encounter the word in simple reading texts about travel or holidays.

You might use it in a work context, perhaps when discussing an outdoor event or a commute. Your vocabulary is growing to include related terms like 'die Bewölkung' (the cloudiness/cloud cover). You can describe weather trends: 'Der Himmel bewölkt sich' (The sky is clouding over). This reflexive use of the verb 'bewölken' is a step up from the simple adjective. You are also expected to understand weather warnings or more complex forecasts that use 'bewölkt' in combination with other conditions like 'windig' or 'kühl'.

Your understanding of adjective declension is now solid, allowing you to use 'bewölkt' in any case (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive) without hesitation. You might also encounter technical terms like 'stark bewölkt' in official documents or scientific discussions about climate and weather patterns.

Bewölkt 30秒了解

  • Bewölkt means 'cloudy' and is used to describe the sky when it is covered by clouds, typically between 5/8 and 6/8 coverage.
  • It is a basic A1 level word, primarily used in weather contexts like 'Es ist bewölkt' or 'ein bewölkter Tag'.
  • Grammatically, it is an adjective that can be used predicatively (after 'sein') or attributively (before a noun with endings).
  • It differs from 'bedeckt' (fully overcast) and 'wolkig' (scattered clouds), providing a specific degree of cloud cover.

The German adjective bewölkt is a fundamental meteorological term used to describe the state of the sky when it is obscured by clouds. Derived from the noun die Wolke (the cloud), the suffix '-t' transforms it into a past participle form acting as an adjective, signifying that the sky has been 'clouded over'. In daily life, this is one of the first words a learner encounters because weather is the universal icebreaker in German-speaking cultures. Whether you are in the gray streets of Berlin or the misty Alps, knowing how to describe the lack of sunshine is essential.

Literal Meaning
Clouded or covered with clouds.
Meteorological Context
Used when the sky is between 4/8 and 6/8 covered by clouds.
Grammatical Function
Primarily used as a predicative adjective with 'sein' (to be) or 'werden' (to become).

Heute ist es sehr bewölkt, wir sollten einen Regenschirm mitnehmen.

— A typical morning observation in Germany.

In a deeper sense, bewölkt implies a lack of direct sunlight. It is distinct from bedeckt (overcast), which suggests a total covering of the sky. When a German speaker says it is 'bewölkt', there might still be patches of blue sky visible, or the clouds might be thin enough for some light to filter through. This nuance is vital for accurate weather reporting and personal planning. Historically, the word traces back to Middle High German 'bewolken', showing its long-standing presence in the language as a descriptor of the natural world.

Der Himmel wurde plötzlich bewölkt.

Visual Representation
Imagine a gray or white ceiling over the landscape.
Opposite State
Wolkenlos (cloudless) or heiter (clear/sunny).

Es bleibt den ganzen Tag bewölkt.

Trotz des bewölkten Himmels ist es warm.

Ein bewölkter Vormittag lädt zum Lesen ein.

Using bewölkt correctly requires understanding its position in a sentence. Most commonly, it follows the impersonal 'es' (it) when describing the weather. For example, 'Es ist bewölkt' (It is cloudy). This is the standard way to answer the question 'Wie ist das Wetter?' (How is the weather?). However, its utility extends beyond simple weather reports into more descriptive and even metaphorical realms.

Adverbial Modifiers
You can use 'leicht' (lightly), 'stark' (heavily), or 'zunehmend' (increasingly) to specify the degree of cloudiness.
Attributive Use
When placed before a noun, it must decline: 'Der bewölkte Himmel' (The cloudy sky).

Am Nachmittag wird es stark bewölkt sein.

In professional meteorology, bewölkt is part of a scale. 'Heiter' is 0-2/8 cloud cover, 'wolkig' is 3-4/8, 'bewölkt' is 5-6/8, and 'bedeckt' is 7-8/8. For a beginner, 'wolkig' and 'bewölkt' are often used interchangeably, but 'bewölkt' sounds slightly more formal and definitive. If you are writing a travel blog or a weather forecast, using these nuances shows a higher level of German proficiency. Furthermore, you can use it to describe the appearance of liquids, though this is rarer; for instance, a 'bewölktes Glas' might refer to a glass that is not clear, though 'trüb' is more common there.

Es ist bewölkt, aber es regnet nicht.

The most frequent place to hear bewölkt is during the weather forecast (die Wettervorhersage) on television or radio. News anchors on ARD or ZDF will often say, 'Im Norden bleibt es heute bewölkt.' It is a staple of the 'Tagesschau', Germany's most famous news program. Beyond the media, it is a constant in small talk. Germans are known for discussing the weather as a safe, neutral topic to start a conversation with neighbors or colleagues.

Guten Morgen! Heute ist es leider wieder bewölkt.

You will also encounter it in literature and poetry to set a somber or reflective mood. A 'bewölkter Blick' (a clouded gaze) can describe someone who is lost in thought or sad. In aviation and maritime contexts, 'bewölkt' is a critical term for visibility and safety. Pilots and sailors use it to communicate the ceiling height and potential hazards. Even in modern apps like 'Wetter.de' or 'WarnWetter', the word is used alongside icons of clouds to give users a quick update on the day's conditions.

One of the most common mistakes for English speakers is confusing bewölkt with wolkig. While they both mean 'cloudy', wolkig is often used for a sky with scattered, fluffy clouds (like a 'wolkiger Tag' in a children's book), whereas bewölkt implies a more uniform layer of clouds. Another mistake is using 'bewölkt' to describe a person's mood without the right context. While you can say 'sein Blick war bewölkt', you wouldn't usually say 'Ich bin bewölkt' to mean 'I am sad'.

Mistake: 'Es ist wolken'
Correction: 'Es ist bewölkt'. 'Wolken' is the plural noun (clouds).
Mistake: 'Die bewölkt Himmel'
Correction: 'Der bewölkte Himmel'. Adjectives need endings when before a noun.

Falsch: Der Tag ist wolken. Richtig: Der Tag ist bewölkt.

Furthermore, learners often forget the 'be-' prefix. The word 'wölkt' is not used on its own in modern German. The prefix 'be-' indicates a state of being covered or affected by something. Omitting it makes the word unrecognizable. Lastly, ensure you don't confuse it with bedeckt. If the sun is completely invisible and the sky is a solid gray sheet, bedeckt is the more accurate term. Using bewölkt in that situation isn't 'wrong', but it's less precise.

To truly master German weather vocabulary, you must distinguish bewölkt from its synonyms. The most common related word is wolkig, which is slightly more informal and often implies fewer clouds. Then there is bedeckt, which means 'overcast'—the sky is 100% covered. If the weather is dark and gloomy, you might use trüb. This word carries a more negative, depressing connotation than the neutral 'bewölkt'.

Wolkig
Scattered clouds, often pleasant.
Bedeckt
Fully overcast, no sun visible.
Trüb
Dull, gloomy, or murky weather.

Es ist nicht nur bewölkt, es ist richtig trüb heute.

In more poetic or old-fashioned German, you might find umwölkt. This is usually used metaphorically, such as 'ein umwölktes Antlitz' (a clouded face/countenance). For technical meteorological reports, you will hear bewölkungsgrad (degree of cloudiness). Understanding these variations allows you to transition from a basic A1 level to a more nuanced B2 or C1 level of expression, where you can describe the subtle differences between a bright cloudy day and a dark, heavy one.

常见错误
  • Using 'wolken' as an adjective (e.g., 'Es ist wolken').
  • Forgetting the 'be-' prefix (e.g., 'Es ist wölkt').
  • Incorrect adjective endings (e.g., 'ein bewölkt Tag').
  • Confusing 'bewölkt' with 'bedeckt' in precise contexts.
  • Using 'bewölkt' for 'I am sad' directly ('Ich bin bewölkt').

小贴士

Adjective Endings

Remember that 'bewölkt' needs an ending when it's before a noun. For 'Tag' (masculine), it's 'bewölkter'. For 'Wetter' (neuter), it's 'bewölktes'. This is a common A2/B1 hurdle.

The 'ö' Sound

Don't rush the 'ö'. It's the heart of the word. If you struggle, think of the English word 'her' and round your lips more. Practice 'Wolke' first, then 'bewölkt'.

Beyond A1

Once you know 'bewölkt', learn 'bedeckt'. It's the next step up for describing a really gray day. Using 'bedeckt' makes you sound more like a native speaker when the sky is totally gray.

Small Talk

Use 'bewölkt' to start a conversation. 'Schon wieder so bewölkt heute, oder?' is a perfect way to talk to a neighbor. It's a safe and neutral topic in German culture.

Metaphors

In your writing, use 'bewölkt' to describe a mood. A 'bewölkte Stimmung' suggests something is not quite right. It's a subtle way to add depth to your German essays.

Weather Reports

Watch the weather forecast on 'Tagesschau'. They use 'bewölkt' in almost every broadcast. It's great practice for hearing the word in a natural, professional context.

Root Word

Always link 'bewölkt' to 'die Wolke'. If you remember the noun for cloud, the adjective is easy to derive. The 'be-' prefix just means 'provided with' or 'covered in'.

Wolkig vs Bewölkt

Think of 'wolkig' as 'some clouds' and 'bewölkt' as 'many clouds'. If you can see a lot of blue, use 'wolkig'. If it's mostly gray, use 'bewölkt'.

Compound Words

Look out for compounds like 'starkbewölkt'. Sometimes they are written as one word in technical reports. This shows a high level of reading comprehension.

Fillers

You can use 'Es ist ein bisschen bewölkt' as a filler. It gives you time to think about your next sentence while staying on a safe topic. It's a useful conversational tool.

记住它

记忆技巧

Think of 'be-' as 'covered with' and 'Wolke' as 'cloud'. So, 'be-wölk-t' is 'covered with clouds'.

词源

Middle High German 'bewolken', from 'Wolke' (cloud).

文化背景

Clouds often represent internal moods in German Romanticism.

Weather is the #1 icebreaker in Germany.

German weather reports are very detailed regarding cloud types.

In German, 'wolkig' usually refers to a sky with scattered clouds where the sun might still shine through frequently. 'Bewölkt' indicates a higher degree of cloud cover, usually more than half the sky. While often used interchangeably in casual speech, 'bewölkt' is slightly more formal. Meteorologically, 'bewölkt' is a specific stage of cloudiness. For a learner, 'bewölkt' is the safer, more common term for 'cloudy'.

The 'ö' is a long vowel. To pronounce it, shape your lips as if you are going to say 'o', but try to say 'e' (as in 'bed'). It is similar to the 'u' in the English word 'burn' but more rounded. Practice by saying 'be-' and then 'wölkt' slowly. Ensure you don't pronounce it like a simple 'o' or 'e'.

You can use it metaphorically, but it's less common than in English. You might say 'sein Blick war bewölkt' (his gaze was clouded) to mean he looked sad or confused. However, you wouldn't say 'Ich bin bewölkt' to mean 'I am feeling down'. In that case, use 'bedrückt' or 'traurig'. It is mostly reserved for the sky or abstract situations.

It is primarily used as an adjective. However, it is derived from the past participle of the verb 'bewölken' (to cloud over). In sentences like 'Es ist bewölkt', it functions as an adjective describing the state of the sky. You can also use the verb: 'Der Himmel bewölkt sich' (The sky is clouding over).

The most direct opposite is 'wolkenlos' (cloudless). Other common opposites include 'heiter' (clear/sunny) and 'sonnig' (sunny). If you want to say the sky is perfectly clear, 'klar' is also a good choice. In weather reports, you will often hear 'heiter' as the opposite of 'bewölkt'.

No, 'bewölkt' just means there are clouds. It does not necessarily imply precipitation. To say it is rainy, you would use 'regnerisch'. Often, weather reports say 'bewölkt, aber trocken' (cloudy but dry). If rain is expected, they will say 'bewölkt mit Regenschauern' (cloudy with rain showers).

It is an A1 level word. It is one of the first adjectives learners are taught to describe their environment. Even though it is a basic word, its usage can become more complex at higher levels (B2-C2) when used metaphorically or in technical meteorological contexts. Every beginner should know this word.

When 'bewölkt' comes before a noun, it needs an ending. For example: 'ein bewölkter Tag' (masculine nominative), 'eine bewölkte Nacht' (feminine nominative), 'ein bewölktes Wochenende' (neuter nominative). In the accusative, it would be 'einen bewölkten Tag'. This follows the standard rules for German adjective declension.

The word is used universally across all German-speaking regions, including Austria and Switzerland. However, because Northern Germany (like Hamburg) is statistically more 'bewölkt' than the South, you might hear the word more often there in daily conversation. It is a standard German word with no regional dialect variations.

Technically, you could use it to describe a liquid that isn't clear, like 'bewölktes Wasser'. However, the word 'trüb' is much more common and natural for describing liquids or glass that is not transparent. 'Bewölkt' is almost exclusively used for the sky or metaphorical 'clouds' in one's mind or future.
