It is essential to learn Japanese vocabulary when studying the language. In addition to words borrowed from other languages, Japanese vocabulary is vast and diverse. Learning basic words and phrases, as well as specialized terminology and idiomatic expressions, is essential for effective communication in Japanese.
Japanese Vocabulary : 天気予報【てんきよほう】 (tenkiyohou)
Meaning: weather forecast
It is made up of two words: “てんき” (tenki) which means “weather” and “よほう” (yohou) which means “forecast”.
To use “てんきよほう” (tenki yohou),
you can simply say it to refer to the weather forecast in general.
For example:
“今日のてんきよほうはどうですか？” (Kyō no tenki yohō wa dō desu ka?) which means “What’s the weather forecast for today?”
You can also use it to ask for the weather forecast for a specific place or time. For example:
“明日の新宿のてんきよほうはどうですか？” (Ashita no Shinjuku no tenki yohō wa dō desu ka?) which means “What’s the weather forecast for tomorrow in Shinjuku?”
“午後のてんきよほうはどうですか？” (Gogo no tenki yohō wa dō desu ka?) which means “What’s the weather forecast for the afternoon?”
Tenki yohou (tenki yo) means “weather forecast” in Japanese.
If you plan to travel to Japan or go out, this is a useful word to know. The weather in Japan can vary quite a bit, so it’s always good to be prepared. It gives you information about the expected temperature, humidity, precipitation, and other weather conditions for a specific location and time period and is available on television, radio, online, and in newspapers. In case of severe weather conditions such as typhoons or heavy snowfall, you can plan your activities and dress appropriately based on the weather forecast.
