Learn Catalan language: the weather / el temps (easy)

[@AtletiToni]

Humidity- humid when referring to the weather. I'd say something is moist would be more common than talking about the weather in general. But of course they are very similar.

[@100nortonfan7]

Nuevamente, gracias por compartir vuestros conocimientos en Catalan. Lo mejor que haceis es darnos unas frases practicas, de la vida diaria y no tratar de llenarnos la cabeza con montones de cosas como si fueramos a discutir temas abstractos con los ciudadanos de Catalunia. Sigo sumando palabras en Catalan a mis conocimientos escasos con el objeto de que en unos pocos anios puedo saludar a la buena gente de la region sin ofender a nadie. Saludos desde California, EEUU. Ah, simas se me escapa, eres muy atractiva y eso ayuda mucho que puedo seguir viendo tus videos continuamente sin detenerme. Thank you!

Excellent 👍

[@pauljack3183]

With you the weather is always bright and shiny

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Hahaha what a compliment! Couldn't be more suitable to this video ;)

[@patriciandunge9777]

Excellent

5 o 6 graus en plen hivern es un dia calent en molts llocs en Europa!

[@kame9]

Humidity work a great paper on temperature. in my island there are 80-90%+ humidity in the summer and the winter, so 38° is like 45+ and 5° is -1 and the cold penetrate in the bones and make u feel bad. I went amsterdam with 3° and yes its a very very cold, but with good stuff you are hot, while in mallorca 10° you have trouble for keep warm.

Muy padre aprender a hablar sobre el tiempo en catalan. :)

Oh, it's sunday and another Catalan lesson from Maria. Thanks. Your previous lessons had conversations where "fa" was used a lot in the context of the weather, but the new lesson is more comprehensive. Your intro does beg the side question about the difference between "de nou", "encara" and "une altra vegada". I can guess from French that they are equivalent to "de nouveau", "encore" and "une autre fois" respectively, often interchangeable in meaning, but not always. The similarities could be only superficial to French though.

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

That is right, it has become a Sunday ritual 😂😂 That is a fair point and it totally deserves an explanation :) in the meantime, I can confirm that I used "de nou" and "una altra vegada" as synonyms in the intro piece.

[@АлексейЮняев-г5о]

Ура! Еще немножко знаний и хорошего настроения! 😀 Moltes gracias pel video! 🤓

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Пожалуйста ! Enjoying this Russian challenge ;) (hope Google was right when proposing a translation)

[@tamilhac1057]

You make super nice catalan Vedio

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Merci :) (thanks!)

[@konig3226]

Perfecto, estaría bueno ver más conversaciones en catalán como pequeña sugerencia también. Pero complacido igualmente del material que nos traes. Que tinguis un bon dia!

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Gracias por la sugerencia :) Tengo previsto planear más vídeos con más catalán y menos inglés!

[@matt18m18]

In English we say it's humid. New York is hot and humid in the summer, and people from the desert complain about how humid it is. Moist is used to describe objects, some of which can't be mentioned.

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Learning of the day ;) merci!

[@mattc9998]

You can also say muggy, not sure if this is just a British term. Muggy is used especially when it's cloudy but still very warm and humid and the air feels like it's sticking to you.

[@lightbearer972]

@@mattc9998 Muggy is also very common in American English!

Hola Maria! Benvinguts de nou per tu tambe🌺🌺🌺 So in Catalan it’s customary to think of the weather both in terms of how it appears and how it actually is. That’s quite brilliant because sometimes the weather appears different than what it actually is! To answer your question - Avui, in my computer land, in the town of KZbin, Fa molt brillant, hi ha molts escumosos⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😉😉😉😉

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Moltes gràcies pel comentari! :) I think I got what you meant when describing "el temps a KZbin", but just checking if you meant that it is "shiny"? Great efforts!! (bona feina!!) :)

[@habeng7208]

Ho sento bella Maria!! I am usually cautious about using google translate, but this time I forgot to double check. Now that I checked, I am very embarrassed!! I feel like a character from that old TV show ‘Mind Your Language’🙈🙉🙊🙏🙏 What I meant to say (and which has nothing in connection to wines!) is that ‘It’s very bright’ (meaning you look very bright, as usual) and ’There are a lot of sparkles’ (meaning you radiate a lot of joy). Sorry again if I offended you. I guess I won’t be attempting Catalan Poetry anytime soon😢😓🤭😬🤐

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Nothing to worry about! It is always tricky when it comes to languages :) moltíssimes gràcies for the compliment anyways 😄 And my utmost respect to those who give poetry a shot! I could never craft a decent rhyme myself ;) PS: so funny you mentioned ‘Mind Your Language’! My mum is self-learning English and she told me about this show and how she sometimes relates to it 🙊

Bon dia , Com vas? Soc de Sheffield

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Què tal el temps per Sheffield? ;)

[@wetboyslippy]

Hola Maria! En primer lloc, realment vaig apreciar el fet que en el vídeo fores una mica més personal que l'habitual (i en aquell 'potser demà el temps serà millor' realment vaig SENTIR tots els 9 anys de la meva vida viscuts en un país amb un clima molt diferent del català... ) pregunta: quan dius "fred", pronuncies "fret"? suggeriment: personalment m'agradaria un vídeo en el qual parles en català sense interrupcions (recitant un poema, llegint un breu monòleg teatral o simplement comptant una petita història d'uns minuts i després anant a analitzar el text) per gaudir del flux, les inflexions, les cadències i els ritmes del teu català i, després, poder repetir sincronitzat amb tu (com faig amb les cançons, o de vegades amb les pel·lícules en català) invitació: torna! :) T'ho prometo: no hi ha humitat ;)

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Hola Alex! Bona observació! La "D" és una lletra oclusiva sonora que en final de mot sona com a "T" (per exemple: fred, ràpid, líquid...). En català estàndard, el que jo parlo, ho pronunciem així. Merci pel suggeriment. La veritat és que és una idea que contemplo des de fa temps i sempre va bé saber que seria d'interès general! Espero posar-ho en pràctica aviat :) hahaha no sé què dir ;) tornaré algun dia abans que comenci l'estiu i encara no hi hagi xafogor ;)

[@wetboyslippy]

@@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756 la xafogor és hot! ;)

[@kame9]

xafugó is like very warm, in spanish the word is bochorno/bochornoso

[@ousmanedembele1423]

Verdad Bon lección???

[@renardmigrant]

You actually forgot 'plou' in the teaching, but you did use it in the example.

[@renardmigrant]

I take that back; it is in there.

[@renardmigrant]

Doesn't matter how 'boring' a topic is if you need to know it.
