Hans51 I learned that rainy implies that 'it rains a lot' and then when I decided to choose which word, should I think of amount of rain?No. 'Rainy' refers to a general weather pattern, short- or long-term. If it is a rainy day, it may nevertheless not be raining at the moment. 'Raining' refers to what is happening now.
