<p class="bodycopy">In English, we actually get special verbs. <i>To rain</i>
        is a verb.  We can say, &ldquo;It rains a
        lot in Seattle,&rdquo;
        with &ldquo;it&rdquo; presumably being &ldquo;the sky&rdquo; or some such
        thing. The Japanese, however, are far
        more boring in their descriptions of weather phenomena. Rain simply falls. Snow falls, hail falls. 
        It just falls.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The verb to accomplish this is <i>furimasu</i>. Here are some
        examples of various forms of precipitation falling:</p>

<p class="bodycopy">So it&rsquo;s fairly easy to describe precipitation in
        Japanese. What about clear skies? There&rsquo;s a very useful verb that means
        &ldquo;to clear up.&rdquo; That verb is <i>haremasu</i>. If you want, you can be very specific and say
        <i>Sora ga haremashita</i>, &ldquo;The sky
        cleared up.&rdquo; But you don&rsquo;t really
        need to specify <i>sora ga</i>, because this
        verb is used almost exclusively for weather. 
        So a simple <i>Haremashita!</i>
        means, &ldquo;It cleared up outside!&rdquo; 
        Or if you like, you can use the present progressive to say, <i>Harete imasu</i>, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s clear
        out!&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">You might think that <i>Harete
        imasu</i> should mean, &ldquo;It is clearing up,&rdquo; i.e., it&rsquo;s not quite
        clear yet, but it&rsquo;s getting there. But this is a slightly different use of <i>-te</i> 
        form plus <i>imasu</i>, and it really means that the sky is in a state of having
        totally cleared up. (A detailed discussion of the grammar behind this is beyond
        the scope of this chapter.)</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The opposite of <i>haremasu</i>
        is <i>kumorimasu</i>. Perhaps you recognize the beginning of this
        verb as <i>kumo</i>, &ldquo;cloud.&rdquo; <i>Kumorimashita</i>
        means, &ldquo;It clouded up / It became overcast.&rdquo; Or, just as above, you can use the 
        <i>-te</i> form plus <i>imasu</i> to say <i>Kumotte imasu</i>,
        &ldquo;It&rsquo;s all cloudy out.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">For describing the actions of a storm or typhoon, you can
        simply use the word <i>kimasu</i>. For example, <i>Arashi ga kimasu</i> means, &ldquo;A storm will come.&rdquo; <i>Taifuu
        ga kite imasu</i> means, &ldquo;A typhoon is coming.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">More destructive weather phenomena get a special verb&mdash;<i>osoimasu</i>, &ldquo;to attack.&rdquo; 
        Using this verb and the particle <i>wo</i>, you can have tsunamis and tornados
        attack cars, towns, or other things.

<p class="bodycopy">Finally, the ultimate bad weather situation is the

        <div class="subheading_level_1">Summary</div>


<p class="bodycopy">In this lesson, we learned some new weather-related vocabulary,
        including special verbs used to describe various weather situations. </p>

<p class="bodycopy">For example, we learned that various kinds of precipitation &ldquo;fall&rdquo; 
with the verb <i>furimasu</i>. So, to say &ldquo;It&rsquo;s hailing,&rdquo; we say &ldquo;Hail is falling,&rdquo; <i>Hyou ga futte imasu</i>.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">We learned that there are special verbs to mean that it &ldquo;clears up&rdquo; (<i>haremasu</i>) or
&ldquo;clouds up&rdquo; (<i>kumorimasu</i>). So, to say, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s cleared up!&rdquo; we simply say <i>Haremashita!</i></p>

<p class="bodycopy">And finally, we talked about more serious weather conditions, such as earthquakes
(<i>jishin</i>). We learned that you can say there &ldquo;is&rdquo; an earthquake with the verb <i>arimasu</i>. So, for example,
&ldquo;There was an earthquake in Tokyo&rdquo; becomes <i>Toukyou de jishin ga arimashita.</i></p>

<p class="bodycopy">And that&rsquo;s about it for weather. May sunny days follow you always! 
Before heading on, have one final go at my friendly quizzes.</p>
