"번개가 치네요."

Translation: The lightning flashes.

[oee16]

-(이)네요 verb ending can be used in 2 ways:

• to express a soliloquy (~thinking to oneself aloud), an exclamation of awe, surprise.

번개가 치네요 ~ Gosh, there are lightning-strikes/bolts of lighting

• to replace the 다 ending in a neutral declarative statement.

번개가 치네요 = 번개가 치다 - The lightning strikes (flashes)

Why not "lightning flash"?

[wintertriangles]

Because lightning isn't plural, it's non-countable so you use the 3rd person conjugation.

That said, "lightning strikes" is a better term for this, I've already flagged it.

That phrase is a noun, while 치네요 is a verb

Right but "Lightning flashes" should be accepted

[Alex110711]

Cause there is grammar involved. Like this is legit sentence right here. You have the subject with 가 and you have 네요 as 'is....-ing' You can't just turn that into a timeless and rather contextless word like lighting flash.

[Alex110711]

Not '- ing' what the ❤❤❤❤ am I talking about. It's more about the 'is... doing whatever But I'm sure you still get the gist of what I meant

[corwinspyre]

Yep flash is the same and should be accepted

[corwinspyre]

Sorry, typo...meant to say lightning strikes
