The scene — The four seasons
Nujoom has a calendar, a suitcase, and zero understanding of how seasons work. Sama is already tired of this trip.
- 여름에 더워요.It's hot in summer.
- 겨울에 추워요.It's cold in winter.
- 그럼 봄에는요?So what about spring, then?
- 겨울에 눈이 와요! 저는 겨울이 좋아요!It snows in winter! I like winter!
- 여름에 비가 많이 와요. 우산 가져가세요.It rains a lot in summer. Bring an umbrella.
The idea — The four seasons
The four seasons are 봄 (spring), 여름 (summer), 가을 (autumn) and 겨울 (winter) — learned as one chain, and to say what a season is like you add 에, like 여름에 더워요, "it's hot in summer."
Next time someone asks about the weather back home, you can walk them through the whole year, one season and one 에 at a time.
