Pogoda

Listopad

Dzisiaj mamy drugiego listopada 2016 roku. 

listopad = November



Na jesieni opadają liście. = In autumn, leaves fall.

listopad comes from leaves falling (list is related to liść, leaf, and pad is from "to fall" - in Czech, listopad is November, too, and list in Czech = leaf)


Pogoda

Jaka jest dzisiaj pogoda? What is the weather today?

Jaka była dzisiaj pogoda? What was the weather today?

Jaka była wczoraj pogoda? What was the weather yesterday?

Jaka będzie jutro pogoda? What will the weather be tomorrow?

Jaka jest pogoda na jesieni? What is weather like in autumn?
    - na jesieni = in autumn ("on autumn")

(Answer JAKA question with feminine adjective, because you are being asked about feminine noun POGODA.)

Example: Dzisiaj pogoda jest zła. Pada deszcz i wieje.

dobra = good
zła = bad

pada (deszcz) = it is raining ("it (rain) falls")
pada śnieg = it is snowing
wieje = it is windy ("it is blowing")

mróz = freezing weather

Dużo pada. It is raining a lot.
Silno pada. It is raining hard. (silno = strong)
Silno wieje. It is very windy.

You go outside and it is raining hard (like we did after class), and you exclaim:
JAK PADA! (How it is raining!)

Jak jest dzisiaj? What is it like today? (Answer JAK question with ADVERB, or noun.)

Examples: Dzisiaj jest zimno.
                  Dzisiaj jest mgła.
                  Dzisiaj jest mżawka.


zimno = cold
chłodno = cool
ciepło = warm
gorąco = hot

mżawka = drizzle
mgła = fog
pochmurno = cloudy (chmury = clouds)
mokro = wet
wilgotno = damp
    wilgoć = damp(ness)!  (Remember to have a disgusted look on your face when mentioning this! Think black mold!)

Zimno mi.  = I am cold. ("It is cold to me.")
Ciepło mi. = I am warm.
Gorąco mi. = I am hot.  (Don't say "Jestem zimny/-a ciepły/-a gorący/-a" in Polish!)
