Okay, let's break it down. Did you catch the words to describe the weather in Costa Rica a Minnesota. I'll give you a few seconds to think of your answer. Let's see about Costa Rica. I said acca, lore yesta, soliado, it's hot and sunny, and in Minnesota.
A caci fri yesta it's cool and.
Cloudy too fast. Let's have a look at all of this in more detail. To get started the question to ask about the weather. The question I used was como esta el tempo that means what's the weather like? Repeat after me commostal tempo perfecto. Tempo is a tricky word because it can also mean time, So how do we know exactly what it means? Well the context. If you're asking commost a tempo, your amigus will know you're asking about the weather because that's how we phrase it in Spanish,
so no confusion there. Another option is kit tempo asset Repeat after me kit t tempo asset perfecto. Now, let's have a look at how you can answer to commostal tempo and espanel. In the dialog, we use two main structures, one with the verb asset and one with the verb is. Start with a cert we con'jugate the verb as assey in the third person singular assay, and then we ad the noun of the weather condition. So as say calore
is hot, I say frio it's cold. Don't translate that literally into English because that's like saying it makes heat or it makes cold. I know it's sons strange, but that's how we spressed in Spanish. I say calore, I say frio. Repeat after me I say calore, I say frio. Good. You can also use the verb a star to be. A star is commonly used to describe current weather conditions, and in this case, it's similar to the way you
phrase said in English. In the dialog, we said a star soliado it's sunny, and a star new blado it's cloudy. So after you include the adjective that describes the weather conditions like soliado and new blado, repeat after me estar soliado esta new blado.
Good.
Okay, now that you know the vocabulary, let's listen to the dialogue one more time. Here we go all aldia Ola.
