How to use it
Lluvia means 'rain'. Feminine: la lluvia. Verb llover ('to rain') is impersonal — only used in 3rd-person singular: llueve ('it's raining'), está lloviendo, etc.
Common mistake
Pronounce double-l as English 'y': 'YOU-bia', not 'LOO-via'. Spanish ll is its own digraph, not just two l's.
