| ¡Hola! Soy Brenda Romaniello, tu profesora de español. |
| Hello and welcome! My name is Brenda Romaniello and I’m your Spanish teacher. |
| Today, we’re going to have a look at how to talk about the weather with your virtual assistant. |
| In today’s lesson, I’m going to show you some vocabulary that you can use to talk about the weather in Spanish. So, we’re going to have a look at some adjectives and vocabulary that you can use and then some extra vocabulary from times of the day, so that you’ll have what weather condition to talk about and in what part of the day. |
| Vamos a empezar. Let’s start. |
| So, let’s have a look at the first weather condition that we have here. |
| We’re gonna say nevado. |
| nevado |
| nevado |
| lluvioso |
| lluvioso |
| lluvioso |
| soleado |
| soleado |
| soleado |
| nublado |
| nublado |
| nublado |
| despejado |
| despejado |
| despejado |
| Nevado means “snowy.” |
| Lluvioso means “rainy.” |
| Do you know how to say “rain” in Spanish? That’s where this is coming from? Do you know how to say “rain”? Well “rain” is lluvia, right? And if we want to say that it’s raining, “It’s raining,” we’re going to say está lloviendo. Está lloviendo significa “it’s raining,” lluvia it means “rain,” and lluvioso is “rainy.” |
| All these adjectives, we’re going to use them in the masculino form because, usually, we’re going to describe “the weather” el clima, which is masculino and el dia “the day” which is also masculino. So that’s why we’re going to say nevado, lluvioso, soleado, nublado, despejado. |
| So, despejado, we use it, for example, when you want to say that it’s clear skies, yes, or if it’s blue sky, there are no clouds, then we are going to say despejado en español. |
| And soleado, yes, the other one that we have here is from- do you know how to say “the sun” en español or “sun”? We’re gonna say sol, the sol is “sun” and then soleado is “sunny,” okay. |
| Let’s have a look at some times of the day in Spanish. |
| We can say la mañana. |
| Repetir, la mañana. |
| la mañana |
| la tarde |
| la tarde |
| la tarde |
| la noche |
| la noche |
| la noche |
| ¡Perfecto! |
| Now, let’s have a look at a dialogue. We’re gonna put this in context in a conversation. |
| So, for example, we can have a person, yes, saying ¿Cómo está el tiempo? |
| ¿Cómo está el tiempo hoy? |
| today |
| ¿Cómo está el tiempo? |
| “What’s the weather like today” or “How’s the weather,” right? |
| And let’s have a look at some examples for these answers. |
| We can say: |
| Nevado en la mañana. |
| Lluvioso en la tarde. |
| So that means “snowny in the morning,” “rainy in the afternoon.” |
| Let’s have a look at other examples. |
| Noblado en la mañana. |
| Lluvioso en la tarde. |
| See, ow, we’re saying “cloudy in the morning,” “rainy in the afternoon.” |
| Soleado en la mañana. |
| Nevado en la noche. |
| So, “sunny in the morning,” “snowy in the evening,” sí. |
| Muy bien. |
| So, let’s have a look at this structure. What is the structure that we’re going to use to talk about these weather conditions and this time of the day en español. |
| So, we’re going to first mention the weather condition, the adjective for the weather condition and then we’re gonna say en, the time of the day. Can you see the pattern here? The [weather condition], yes, the adjective for the weather condition, en “in” [the time of the day]. |
| Let’s have a look at that again. |
| Noblado en la mañana. |
| Lluvioso en la tarde. |
| “Cloudy in the morning.” |
| “Rainy in the afternoon.” |
