Have you ever said "๋น๊ฐ ์๋ค"ย in Korean? Many Korean learners commonly make this mistake.
So, what is the correct way to say it in Korean? ๐ค๐ก
๐น In Korean, we donโt say "๋น๊ฐ ์๋ค"ย (There is rain).
๐น Instead, we say "๋น๊ฐ ์ค๋ค"ย (Rain is coming / It is raining).
๐ Why?
In English, "There is rain" is understandable, but in Korean, weather-related wordsย (like rain, snow, and wind) are often expressed as an actionย rather than just existing.
"์ค๋ค"ย means "to come," so "๋น๊ฐ ์ค๋ค" naturally describes the action of rain falling.
๐ Examples:
์ค๋ ๋น๊ฐ ์์ย ์ฐ์ฐ์ ๊ฐ์ ธ์์ด์.
(Itโs raining today, so I brought an umbrella.)
์ด์ ๋ ํ๋ฃจ ์ข ์ผ ๋น๊ฐ ์์ด์.
(It rained all day yesterday.)
๐ก Tip:
Similarly, we say "๋์ด ์ค๋ค"ย (It is snowing) instead of "๋์ด ์๋ค."ย ๐
