In German, the word for ‘hail’ is ‘Hagel’. This term is used to describe the small ice pellets that can fall during a storm.
The pronunciation can be a bit tricky for non-native speakers. It’s pronounced as ‘hah-gel’. The ‘h’ is pronounced like the English ‘h’, and the ‘g’ is a hard sound, similar to the ‘g’ in ‘go’.
In the context of weather, you might say, ‘Es hagelt’, which means ‘It is hailing’. This can be useful when discussing weather conditions or talking about unusual weather events.
