Which one should you use?

While βροχή is the noun used to name the phenomenon of rain, the related verb βρέχω means 'to wet' or 'to make something wet'.

βροχή is a feminine noun. Because of this, any adjectives that accompany it must also be in the feminine form.

The romanization is vrochí. The IPA is /vɾoˈçi/.

In Greece, there is a folk belief that when it rains while the sun is shining, a witch is marrying or a bride is crying.
In ancient Greek literature and poetry, βροχή was often used as a metaphor for divine grace or an outpouring of abundance from the gods.
Greek has a specific word for 'drizzle' that is distinct from βροχή, but in casual speech, people often use the word ψιλόβροχος to describe a rain that is so light it barely wets the skin.
