Speaker 1: Is it hot or cold? And more importantly, how do
Speaker 1: you say that? In espanel? Let's find out in this
Speaker 1: episode of Speaking Spanish for beginners. Gital meyam Marco, you're
Speaker 1: Latino Spanish teacher. In this episode you'll learn some basic
Speaker 1: words to describe the weather, a classic topic for small
Speaker 1: talk in espanel. Are you ready for this, mamma el TmPo.
Speaker 1: That's how we say the weather in Spanish. To start,
Speaker 1: let's listen to a short dialogue between my friendly Titia
Speaker 1: and me. She is in Minnesota and I'm in Costa Rica.
Speaker 1: Pay close attention to the words we used to describe
Speaker 1: the weather in each place. Here we go, all Alicia.
Speaker 2: Ola, Marco pain Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Minnesota, Henielle just doing Costa Rica de vacaciones aga acca, lore, yesta, soliado,
Speaker 1: como style tempo Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Agaci, frio, yesta promegusta.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's break it down. Did you catch the words
Speaker 1: to describe the weather in Costa Rica a Minnesota. I'll
Speaker 1: give you a few seconds to think of your answer.
Speaker 1: Let's see about Costa Rica. I said acca, lore yesta, soliado,
Speaker 1: it's hot and sunny, and in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: A caci fri yesta it's cool and.
Speaker 1: Cloudy too fast. Let's have a look at all of
Speaker 1: this in more detail. To get started the question to
Speaker 1: ask about the weather. The question I used was como
Speaker 1: esta el tempo that means what's the weather like? Repeat
Speaker 1: after me commostal tempo perfecto. Tempo is a tricky word
Speaker 1: because it can also mean time, So how do we
Speaker 1: know exactly what it means? Well the context. If you're
Speaker 1: asking commost a tempo, your amigus will know you're asking
Speaker 1: about the weather because that's how we phrase it in Spanish,
Speaker 1: so no confusion there. Another option is kit tempo asset
Speaker 1: Repeat after me kit t tempo asset perfecto. Now, let's
Speaker 1: have a look at how you can answer to commostal
Speaker 1: tempo and espanel. In the dialog, we use two main structures,
Speaker 1: one with the verb asset and one with the verb is.
Speaker 1: Start with a cert we con'jugate the verb as assey
Speaker 1: in the third person singular assay, and then we ad
Speaker 1: the noun of the weather condition. So as say calore
Speaker 1: is hot, I say frio it's cold. Don't translate that
Speaker 1: literally into English because that's like saying it makes heat
Speaker 1: or it makes cold. I know it's sons strange, but
Speaker 1: that's how we spressed in Spanish. I say calore, I
Speaker 1: say frio. Repeat after me I say calore, I say frio. Good.
Speaker 1: You can also use the verb a star to be.
Speaker 1: A star is commonly used to describe current weather conditions,
Speaker 1: and in this case, it's similar to the way you
Speaker 1: phrase said in English. In the dialog, we said a
Speaker 1: star soliado it's sunny, and a star new blado it's cloudy.
Speaker 1: So after you include the adjective that describes the weather
Speaker 1: conditions like soliado and new blado, repeat after me estar
Speaker 1: soliado esta new blado.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: Okay, now that you know the vocabulary, let's listen to
Speaker 1: the dialogue one more time. Here we go all aldia Ola.
Speaker 2: Marco Piena Kin Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Minnesota, gnial, just doing Costa Rica de vacaciones aga aca lore,
