Raindrop; a single drop of rain.

How it's used

Refers specifically to the individual droplets of rain rather than the rain itself as a weather phenomenon. It is often used in descriptive or literary contexts to emphasize the size or the scattered nature of the falling water. In casual daily speech, people are more likely to simply say 雨水 or just describe the rain as falling.

raindrops falling everywhere

Common mistake

Do not use this word to describe a heavy downpour or a storm, as it specifically highlights the individual, countable nature of the drops. Using it to describe general rainfall can sound overly poetic or unnatural in a standard conversation.
