What does "llueve" tell you?

Question

I've just done one of the lesson 1 lessons and a bit confused as to the meanings of llueve and nieva.

Does lleve mean rainy and it's raining, or does it just mean rainy. If it just means rainy, then how do you say it's raining?

Answer 1

"Llover" is the infinitive of the verb "to rain". "Llueve" is the present tense form meaning "It rains." However, I've often heard it used interchangeable with "Está lloviendo." which means "It's raining." "Lluvioso" is "rainy". If you look up "llover" and "lluvioso" in the site's dictionary, it gives good examples of both. The same is the case with "Nevar" "to snow","nevado"""snowy".

Answer 2

the word llueve means rain or rainy
