이제 가을이네요! It’s fall now! Today’s WotD is 가을, fall (or autumn).
Here are the four seasons:
계절마다 날씨가 달라요. The weather is different for each season.
봄: spring; 따뜻하다: to be warm
여름: summer; 덥다: to be hot (ㅂ irregular)
가을: fall; 시원하다: to be cool
겨울: winter; 춥다: to be cold (ㅂ irregular)
You can add the prefix 한- to indicate the middle or height of that season.
(한창 + SeasonName; ie 한창인 겨울 -> 한겨울)
한봄: mid-spring, spring in full bloom
한여름: midsummer, hottest days
한가을: mid-autumn, height of harvesting season
한겨울: midwinter, coldest days
You can also add the suffix -내 for “all season long”.
(SeasonName+내내; ie 여름 내내 -> 여름내)
봄내: all spring long, throughout the spring
여름내: all summer long, throughout the summer
가으내: all autumn long, throughout the fall
겨우내: all winter long, throughout the winter
To say all of them (spring, summer, fall, winter) together, you can say:
춘하추동(春夏秋冬) This is a 사자성어, which is a 4 character Chinese idiom.
