Traveller mixes up Korean rain phrase in Seoul
Original: It’s the Bi-Ga in Korea. 비가 or Bi ga means it is raining in Korean. Kinda. People will know what you mean, but my Korean
A visitor in South Korea has been talking about attempting the Korean phrase for rain, "bi ga" (비가), admitting their pronunciation and grammar are far from perfect but noting locals would still understand the meaning. The anecdote captures the familiar experience of travellers fumbling basic phrases abroad while getting by anyway.
Why now: People are relating to the common, humorous experience of butchering a foreign language while travelling.
