Tan an ak sezon yo
Ki jan pou pale de tan an angle : vokabilè, « it » enpèsonèl la ak poukisa se sijè ki pi san risk pou yon konvèsasyon.
Tan an se sijè ki pi komen nan konvèsasyon politès an angle, e li vini ak yon patikilarite gramatikal ou bezwen depi premye jou a.
« It » enpèsonèl la
An angle, sijè a obligatwa, kidonk fraz sou tan an sèvi ak it, menm si mo sa a pa refere a anyen.
It's raining. · It's cold today. · It was sunny yesterday.
Kreyòl la tou sèvi ak li nan Li fè frèt, kidonk prensip la pa nouvo pou ou. Pyèj yo vini yon lòt kote : kreyòl la di « li fè frèt », « gen van », « li fè 20 degre », e lapli ap tonbe, alòske angle toujou sèvi ak to be.
❌ It makes cold. / ❌ There is wind. / ❌ It makes 20 degrees. / ❌ Rain is falling. ✅ It's cold. · It's windy. · It's 20 degrees. · It's raining.
Otreman di : « li fè frèt » → it's cold, « gen van » → it's windy (nou sèvi ak adjektif la), « li fè bèl » → it's nice oswa it's lovely.
Mo debaz
Adjektif (ak « it's ») : sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, snowy, foggy, hot, warm, cool, cold, freezing, wet, dry
Vèb (ak « it's + -ing ») : raining, snowing, pouring (lapli ap tonbe fò)
It's windy and cold.
It's pouring — take an umbrella.
Non : rain, snow, wind, sun, cloud, storm, fog, ice
Ki jan pou endike entansite a
Prèske tout mo sou tan an egziste sou yon echèl, e byen chwazi entansite a se sa ki distenge angle natirèl ak angle manyèl.
| Fèb | Mwayen | Fò |
|---|---|---|
| drizzle | rain | downpour, pouring |
| breeze | wind | gale |
| chilly, cool | cold | freezing |
| mild, warm | hot | boiling |
| damp | wet | soaked |
Shower se yon lapli kout ki sispann talè (pa konfonn ak douch pou benyen) ; drizzle se yon ti lapli fen ki kontinye. Nan Wayòm Ini, toulède pi komen pase yon vrè gwo lapli, e toulède gen pwòp vèb yo : it's drizzling.
Ou pral bezwen tou : humid (cho e mouye, ki jennen : atansyon, li pa vle di sèlman « imid » ; pou sa ki mouye yon ti kras, se damp), muggy (menm bagay, familye : « lou »), sleet (nèj fonn), hail (lagrèl), thunder and lightning (loraj), a heatwave (gwo chalè), black ice (glas sou wout).
Tanperati
- It's 20 degrees.
- It's below zero.
- It's boiling. (li cho anpil, familye)
- It's freezing. (li frèt anpil, pa literalman 0 °C)
Nan Wayòm Ini, nou konte an degre Celsius, tankou lakay ; nan Etazini, an Fahrenheit. It's eighty degrees se yon jou ete cho nan Etazini e yon chalè ki ka touye kote yo konte an Celsius.
Ki jan pou pale de previzyon
- It's going to rain later. (nou wè sa nan nwaj yo)
- They said it'll clear up this afternoon.
- There's a chance of showers tomorrow.
- It's supposed to snow at the weekend. (trè komen, vle di « dapre previzyon yo »)
Sezon yo
spring · summer · autumn (nan Etazini : fall) · winter
Ayiti gen sitou sezon sèk ak sezon lapli, kidonk kat sezon sa yo se vokabilè ou dwe aprann.
Climate se modèl alontèm dèyè tout bagay sa yo : yon sijè apa, e komen nan egzamen.
Prepozisyon : in spring, in the summer, in July, on Monday. An angle, in sèvi pou tout sezon yo, jamè at spring. Mwa yo pran yon gwo lèt an angle : July, October.
Ki jan pou mande ak reponn
- What's the weather like? — It's lovely. / Not great.
- What's it like outside?
- Is it still raining? — No, it's stopped.
« What's the weather like? » se kesyon fiks la. Ni How is the weather? (tradiksyon mo pou mo Ki jan tan an ye ?), ni What weather does it make?, ki sonnen tankou yon tradiksyon. Pa bliye tou ke mo kreyòl tan vle di time kou weather : an angle, se de mo.
Poukisa sa enpòtan sosyalman
Yon kòmantè sou tan an se fason estanda pou kòmanse yon konvèsasyon ak yon moun ou pa konnen. Se pa sou meteyo a : se yon siy ouvèti pou konvèse.
Cold today, isn't it? — Freezing!
Reponn sèlman « yes » fèmen konvèsasyon an. Ajoute omwen yon mo anplis.
Tout sans lan nan repons lan. Yon kòmantè sou tan an se yon envitasyon pou konvèse, e repons yo atann lan se dakò plis yon bagay anplis : yon mo, yon plent, yon plan. Freezing! And it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Se egzakteman dezyèm pati sa a ki transfòme yon salitasyon an konvèsasyon.
De minit nan estasyon bis
A: Miserable, isn't it?
B: Awful. It's been drizzling since seven.
A: They said it'd clear up by lunchtime.
B: They always say that. I didn't even bring a coat.
Pa gen okenn enfòmasyon sou tan an ki echanje isit la. Moun yo verifye yo toulède nòmal e yo ap tann menm bis la.
