| Hi everyone, I'm Thomas, hallo daar, ik ben Thomas. |
| Welcome to the Dutch Whiteboard Lessons. |
| In this lesson you'll learn how to talk about the weather. |
| Let's get started. |
| Okay, let's look at the vocabulary. |
| First we have zonnig, the Dutch word for sunny, zonnig, zonnig, zonnig. |
| Up next bewolkt or cloudy, bewolkt, bewolkt, bewolkt. |
| The next one is winderig, windy, winderig, winderig, winderig. |
| Our next one is mistig, misty, mistig, mistig, mistig. |
| Up next is sneeuwt, snowy, sneeuwt, sneeuwt, sneeuwt. |
| And finally regenachtig, rainy, regenachtig, regenachtig, regenachtig. |
| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| When I read I want you to pay attention to the weather words. |
| Find what the weather is and see how it's used in the dialogue. |
| Hoe is het weer? |
| Het is zonnig. |
| How's the weather? |
| It's sunny. |
| Hoe is het weer? |
| Het is zonnig. |
| Now let's look at some speaking examples. |
| Het is bewolkt. |
| It's cloudy. |
| Het is bewolkt. |
| Het is bewolkt. |
| Het is winderig. |
| It's windy. |
| Het is winderig. |
| Het is winderig. |
| Het is mistig. |
| It's misty. |
| Het is mistig. |
| Het is mistig. |
| Het sneeuwt. |
| It's snowy. |
| Het sneeuwt. |
| Het sneeuwt. |
| And finally het is regenachtig. |
| It's rainy. |
| Het is regenachtig. |
| Het is regenachtig. |
| Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern will be the structure that all our dialogues will follow. |
| Het is weather condition. |
| It's weather condition. |
| Sometimes we use is, on a few occasions we don't. |
| I've mentioned that sometimes we do not use is in a sentence structure to describe the |
| weather. |
| One example you've already noticed I think, we've included het sneeuwt. |
| Now het sneeuwt, unlike the other examples, sneeuwt here is a verb and not an adjective. |
| It comes from the full verb sneeuwen to snow. |
| The noun for snow in Dutch is sneeuw. |
| Why do we use a verb here? |
| That's because an adjective like here does not exist for snow, strangely enough in Dutch. |
| So we use het sneeuwt, which can mean it is snowy, but can also mean it is snowing. |
