Hai visto le previsioni del tempo?

Have you seen the weather forecast?

Pronunciation

'Previsioni' = preh-vee-ZYOH-nee — five syllables. 'Tempo' here clearly means 'weather' not 'time' — context established by 'previsioni del.'

When to use it

Universal small talk before a weekend, outdoor event, or when weather matters. Works with anyone. More specific than asking about today's weather — shows planning awareness.

What it means

'Le previsioni del tempo' = 'the weather forecast' — a fixed phrase. 'Hai visto' = passato prossimo of 'vedere.' This question is very natural and practical — often heard before trips, outdoor events, or at the start of the week.

They say the weather will be nice on Saturday.

Shares forecast information — opens conversation about plans.

'Sembrare che + congiuntivo' — B1 structure, natural and elegant.

Speriamo che non piova!

Let's hope it doesn't rain!
