hail - ברד

Mind you, this is not hail as in All hail the king! This is hail in the frozen rain sense: ברד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ברד-1.m4a” /].

For example:

This is not rain, this is hail.

ברד can also refer to a frozen beverage like those sold at 7-Eleven.

The word is related to the Arabic بارد (barid) meaning cold.
