What it means

날씨 is the word for weather in Korean — a very common conversation starter. Korea has four distinct seasons, making 날씨 a frequent topic in daily life and K-dramas.

Nuance & when to use

날씨가 좋아요 = The weather is nice. 날씨가 나빠요 = The weather is bad. Korea's weather is dramatic: hot summers (여름), cold winters (겨울), beautiful autumn (가을), and cherry-blossom spring (봄). Season words are great vocabulary pairs.

⚠ Common mistake

날씨 is a noun. To describe it, add -가/이 + adjective: 날씨가 추워요 (the weather is cold). Don't say 날씨 추워요 without the particle.

Example sentences

오늘 날씨 어때요? Oneul nalssi eottaeyo? How is the weather today?
날씨가 맑아요. Nalssiga malgayo. The weather is clear.
날씨 때문에 집에 있어요. Nalssi ttaemuneo jibe isseoyo. I'm staying home because of the weather.
