Why you can't say “rainy autumn”: what a mistake we often make

Actually, autumn cannot be “rainy” – instead, you should use another word instead of this adjective.

About how to use the words “rainy” and ” rainy,” said the author and host of the “Properly Ukrainian” program on “Radio Track” Olga Bagniy.

Autumn is a rainy season. Can it rain? How to say correctly: rainy autumn or rainy autumn? let's figure it out We use the word “rainy” when we talk about something rich in rain. Therefore, autumn is rainy, October is rainy, and the day is rainy. And we use “rainy” when we talk about something that was formed from rain, that protects from rain or carries rain. That's why it's a rain cloud, rain rivers or a raincoat, she explained.
