Snow in French, Spanish, German, and More
It’s snowing. It’s mid-November, our yard is covered with leaves patiently waiting to be raked and placed into bags, and it’s snowing. Sticking, too. Though we had a few melty flurries already this season, this is the first official arrival of the white stuff here in Michigan.
In honor of our first flakes, learn how to say “snow” in these foreign languages:
neige (French)
nieve (Spanish)
neve (Portuguese and Italian)
Schnee (German)
sneeuw (Dutch)
What other words do you know for “snow”? Please leave a comment and share some more languages! (Just don’t rub it in if you live somewhere warm and sunny.)
I’m trying to forget the fact that it’s November and my leaves are covered with la neige. Hmm . . . I wonder if that makes for more slippery sledding? The adult me may be screaming, “Too early! Make it stop!” but the kid in me is excited. There’s something magical about the first snow. Remember that wonder and watch this charming video about a French snowman . . . un bonhomme de neige. And let me be the first to wish you a happy winter!

Your turn to be snowed in I guess! Here it is veeeeeery cold, yet sunny!… they’re not calling for white stuff in the 10 day forecast…GOOD!
Believe it or not, 10 days ago I did rake the leaves in shorts and T’shirt!… can no longer predict what winters will be like… Aimes-tu les surprises!
À plus tard!
Enjoy your little break from the snow, Lyne! I know whatever we get here, you get more!
Thanks for the Russian addition to the snow list, Kat
