It looks like it's going to rain, so let's take an umbrella.

  1. ้›จใŒ้™ใ‚Šใใ†it looks like it will rain้™ใ‚‹ (to fall) becomes ้™ใ‚Š + ใใ†: something that looks about to happen.
  2. ใ ใ‹ใ‚‰so, because of thatGives the reason for what comes next.
  3. ๅ‚˜ใ‚’ๆŒใฃใฆใ„ใ“ใ†let's take an umbrellaๆŒใฃใฆใ„ใ (take along) in its volitional form ใ€œใ“ใ†: โ€œlet'sโ€ or โ€œI'llโ€.

้™ใ‚Šใใ† vs ้™ใ‚‹ใใ†ใ 

Attached to the verb stem, ใใ† means โ€œit looks likeโ€: ้™ใ‚Šใใ† = it looks like rain. After the dictionary form, ใใ†ใ  means โ€œI heardโ€: ้™ใ‚‹ใใ†ใ  = I heard it will rain.
