How To Say It’s Snowing in Korean
눈이 와요
[nun-i wayo]
It’s snowing
눈 means snow in Korean. The basic form of 와요 is 오다 which is come in Korean. So, Koreans actually say ‘snow is coming’. You can replace 눈 to other words to describe the weather.
You can drop subject marker 이 to make it sound more natural
How To Say It’s Snowing in Korean
눈이 내려요
[nun-i neryeoyo]
It’s snowing
Korean has another phrase to say it’s snowing in Korean. 내려요 can mean so many things. but in this case, it means ‘falling down’. The basic form of 내려요 is 내리다. It can mean ‘come down’, ‘get off (from a vehicle)’, ‘fall’, ‘go down’, ‘lower’, ‘reduce’, ‘drop’, ‘bring down’, ‘cut down’. Oohh… too many translations right? But you don’t need to memorize them all. Just remember it has an image of ‘going down’.
Ahhh Natural-☆
You can drop subject marker 이 anytime in ‘눈이 와요’ : 눈 와요. Native Koreans prefer this way much more in a conversation and you should never use ‘은/는’ for this phrase because that doesn’t make any sense in Korean.

Things To Know
Saying It’s snowing in Korean is very unnatural with present progressive tense except you are describing the past like a novel because Korean grammar uses present tense to describe what’s ongoing too.
It snows in Korean
겨울에는 눈이 와요
[gyeoul-eneun nun-i wayo]
It snows at winter
Korean language uses the present tense to describe ongoing too. So, 눈이 와요 actually means ‘it snows’. You have to mention of specific time if you want to use this phrase just like English present tense.
Another Meaning of 눈
눈 also means ‘eye’ or ‘eyes’ too. Exactly same spelling but a different meaning. Yeah… :I

This Course Was $15
$15, maybe it’s nothing that you can earn after a couple of hours of labor. Or, maybe you have to work for full days to earn it only because of where you were born. And $15, It’s the average price of Korean textbooks. Life is unfair. But that’s why we can help each other, we are helping each other.
This Is Why I Published My Textbook For Free
I didn’t make it possible alone. A lot of people helped me and encouraged me and, of course, support me. I really appreciate my supporters, Team Junicorns. If my tutorials are helpful or if you want to share the same dream, join the Team Junicorns and support me to keep going.
