Τι καιρό κάνει;/ΤΙ ΚΑΙΡΟ ΚΑΝΕΙ;
or
Τι καιρό έχετε;/ΤΙ ΚΑΙΡΟ ΕΧΕΤΕ;
These literally mean, “what does the weather do?” and “what weather do you have” and are both ways of asking what the weather is like. If you want to ask about what the weather has been like switch the verbs to the past tense to get:
Τι καιρό έκανε;/ΤΙ ΚΑΙΡΟ ΕΚΑΝΕ;
or
Τι καιρό είχατε;/ΤΙ ΚΑΙΡΟ ΕΙΧΑΤΕ;
Another different way to ask about the weather might be, “How is/was the weather?”, which is:
Πος είναι ο καιρός;/ ΠΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ Ο ΚΑΙΡΟΣ; (present tense)
Πος ήτανε ο καιρός;/ΠΟΣ ΗΤΑΝΕ Ο ΚΑΙΡΟΣ; (past tense)
And then perhaps some answers would be:
English | Lower | Upper |
---|---|---|
It's cold (lit."it does cold[ly]") | κάνει κρυό | ΚΑΝΕΙ ΚΡΥΟ |
it's hot | έχει ζέστη | ΕΧΕΙ ΖΕΣΤΗ |
the weather is good | ο καιρος είναι καλος | Ο ΚΑΙΡΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΛΟΣ |
it's raining | βρέχει | ΒΡΕΧΕΙ |
it's snowing | χιονίζει | ΧΙΟΝΙΖΕΙ |
The last two examples use the verbs for raining and snowing. The associated nouns are η βροχή/Η ΒΡΟΧΗ, “the rain” and το χιονι/ΤΟ ΧΙΟΝΙ “the snow”. The past tense of those verbs would be έβρεχε/ΕΒΡΕΧΕ and χιόνιζε/ΧΙΟΝΙΖΕ so to say “it rained all day” would be:
έβρεχε ολη μέρα/ΕΒΡΕΧΕ ΟΛΗ ΜΕΡΑ
In a previous topic we covered the past tense of the verbs to be and to do, but here is the other verb we are using, "to have", fully conjugated in the past:
English | Lower | Upper |
---|---|---|
I had | είχα | ΕΙΧΑ |
You had | είχες | ΕΙΧΕΣ |
He/she/it had | είχε | ΕΙΧΕ |
We had | είχαμε | ΕΙΧΑΜΕ |
You had | είχατε | ΕΙΧΑΤΕ |
They had | είχαν | ΕΙΧΑΝ |
