"It's nice weather today, right?"
오늘 날씨가 좋죠?(O-neul nal-ssi-ga jo-chyo?)
First is 오늘(o-neul), "today." 오늘.
Next is 날씨 (nal-ssi) "weather." 날씨. 날씨
Next is 가(ga) the subject marking particle 가(ga). 가(ga).
It marks "weather" as the subject of the sentence.
Note: there are two forms of the subject marking particle. 가(ga) follows words that end in a vowels, like 날씨 (nal-ssi).
Next is 좋죠(jo-chyo). "nice, right?" 좋죠(jo-chyo).
This starts with 좋(jo) the stem of the adjective 좋다(jo-ta), "nice." 좋다.
Attached to 좋 is 죠(-chyo), which translates as "nice," as in "nice, right?" in this context. 죠(-chyo)
Together, 좋죠(jo-chyo) Nice, right? 좋죠(jo-chyo)

Notice the pronunciation of 좋죠(jo-chyo).
All together, 오늘 날씨가 좋죠?(O-neul nal-ssi-ga jo-chyo?) literally, "today weather nice, right?" but translates as, "The weather is nice today, right?" 오늘 날씨가 좋죠?(O-neul nal-ssi-ga jo-chyo?)
