How To Say Spring Is Here in Korean
봄이 왔어요
[bom-i wasseoyo]
Spring is here
Basic form : 봄이 오다
반말(informal non-honorific) form : 봄이 왔어
Negative form with 해요 speech style : 봄이 안왔어요
봄이 왔다 is the most common phrase to say ‘Spring season is here again’. 봄 means ‘Spring’ and 왔다 is a past form of 오다 which means ‘come’ in Korean. So 봄이 왔다 means ‘Spring came’.
As a Korean. It sounds like ‘Spring season visited to us again’ because ‘오다’ is often used to greet other people.
Markers With The Phrase
You must remember 2 things for this phrase. 1st, you have to use subject markers 이/가 only, not topic markers 은/는. It sounds unnatural with 은/는. 2nd, you have to keep the marker. It sounds unnatural with a dropping marker.

It’s spring
You can simply say ‘It’s spring’ to describe a season came. Native Koreans use this phrase especially with adverbs such as ‘already’.

With Other Season
You can replace 봄 with other nouns for seasons with 오다. 봄(spring), 여름(summer), 가을(fall), 겨울(winter).
여름이 왔어요
Summer is here
‘Go’ With Seasons
To say ‘season ended’, Native Koreans use ‘끝나다’ which means ‘finish’ or ‘end’. However, sometimes they say ‘(season)이 다 갔다’ also with 가다(go). 다 means ‘every’ or ‘all’. So, it literally means ‘(season) is all gone’
겨울이 다 갔어요
Winter ended

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.
