Rain in Polish

kropla f - drop kropla deszczu f - raindrop

kropić (impf.) - to spit padać (impf.) - to rain pada (deszcz) (impf.) - it’s raining siąpić (impf.), mżyć (impf.) - to drizzle

Notes: My favourite Polish word connected with raining is an adjective dżdżysty (rainy). It’s an old adjective, so it’s no longer used in everyday speech, usually people say deszczowy.
