Learning new words, learning new languages opens up different understandings of the world and yourself Reminded of describing “rain” in Irish Gaelic. Rain can be described as "báisteach" or "fearthainn", drizzle or misty rain is "ceobhrán" and "brádán" or "Tá sĂ© ag draonán báistĂ" The expression "tá sĂ© ag drĂodarnach báistĂ", is a type of light rain. "Ceathanna", "mĂşrtha" or "scrabhanna báistĂ" is showers of rain while "aimsir cheathach" or "aimsir spairniĂşil" describes showery weather. The word "craobhmhĂşr" is useful in describing scattered rain or a light shower. "Breacbháisteach" is occasional rain. And rain with blowing sideways can be described by "seadbháisteach" or “seadbhraonta"
