Describing heavy rainfall.
文化背景
Rain is often welcomed as 'belșug' (abundance). A heavy rain in spring is seen as a sign of a good harvest year. In the capital, 'plouă tare' is synonymous with traffic jams. People often use the phrase as a valid excuse for being late to meetings. It is believed that if it rains hard on your wedding day, the couple will be very wealthy. The poet George Bacovia made heavy rain a symbol of Romanian provincial melancholy. To 'Bacovianize' is to feel sad because it's raining hard.
The 'Strong' Rule
Remember that in Romanian, weather is 'strong' (tare), not 'heavy' (greu).
No 'To Be'
Never say 'Este plouă'. Just 'Plouă'.
