Cinfhen It would @TrishB 🙌🏻 I‘ll need to think of all my bilingual Littens to see how many variations of snow we can get!!! There‘s @sisilia @BarbaraBB @julesG @CoffeeAndABook @Simona @ephemeralwaltz @Reggie @Violetta who‘s French?!?!! 5y

Cinfhen Oh @LeahBergen must speak French or @Melissa_J @TheKidUpstairs @CouronneDhiver ???? 5y

Violetta @Cinfhen I can give you a Russian 'снег' (pronounced 'sneg') ❄️❄️❄️ 5y

sisilia In Indonesian, snow is “salju” and ice is “es” 😸 @Cinfhen 5y

julesG @sisilia Need to ask, do you get snow in South-East Asia? 5y

Cinfhen Thanks @sisilia @Violetta 🙏🏻☃️ 5y

Cinfhen @julesG what‘s the German word for snow??? 5y

julesG German is "Schnee", long e-sound that is hard to do right for English speaking people since they don't have this phoneme in their mother tongue. 5y

julesG @LittleBug - Dutch word for snow? 5y

Cinfhen I‘m waiting for @BarbaraBB to answer but @Kalalalatja gave me the Danish word “Sne” similar to German 5y

TrishB @catsuit_mango is French 💕 word for snow? 5y

LittleBug @julesG in Dutch it‘s ‘sneeuw‘😊Similar to snow, bit with the same long ‘e‘ as in German😊 5y

LittleBug Oh and we have a local dialect in The Netherlands that calls it ‘schnie‘🤩 This one is similar to the German one but with a short version of the ‘e‘ in the English ‘he‘ or ‘she‘🤓 5y

Velvetfur I'm Welsh and Irish, with some Spanish &.Italian on my Dad's side, so he's my snow words: eira (Welsh), sneachta (Irish), nieve (Spanish), neve (Italian). I do know it in French too but I'm not going to steal a French-speaker's moment! P.S. I Googled the Welsh and Irish ones! 5y

Velvetfur @TrishB the above comment was for your attention too 😁 5y

KarenUK 👍😂Every day‘s a School day 5y

CouronneDhiver Oui, je parle français! The word is “neige” 5y

Cinfhen Thanks, Merci, Toda, Gracias, Grazie, Danke, Spasiba, tak to all you smarty pants!!! @CouronneDhiver @Velvetfur ( 🙌🏻) @LittleBug 😉❣️ 5y

BarbaraBB Dutch = sneeuw and I can add Spanish: nieve ❄️❄️ 5y

Lindy My Slovak is rudimentary, but I can say sneh. ❄️ 5y

sisilia @julesG Sadly, we don‘t have four seasons here... only dry and rainy seasons 🙃 5y

Cinfhen Thanks for adding to the list @Lindy @BarbaraBB 🤗🤗🤗 5y

julesG @sisilia But there is a word for snow. 💙 5y

Simona Sneg = snow, led = ice and sneži = snowing in Slovenian language. In Croatian: snjeg = snow, led = ice and snježi = snowing. 5y

Cinfhen My niece is in Croatia right now!! She‘s there competing in figure skating ⛸How do you say that in Croatian @Simona ??? 5y

Simona Figure skating = umjetničko klizanje, niece = nećakinja, competing = natjecanje. Moja nećakinja je tamo i natjeće se u umetničkom klizanju. Good luck to her 🤞🤞🤞Is she in Zagreb? 5y

Cinfhen Yes!! @Simona she skates tonight for the first time in 9 months!! She skates pairs and they are both coming off of injuries that kept them from competing/ skating!!! She‘s anxious and so are we 🤞🏼🤞🏼 (edited) 5y

Simona Ooh, that must be so stressful for them! I hope that everything will be perfect❣️ 5y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @Simona Hope you‘re doing ok! I‘m sure holiday time is difficult without your dad 💔 5y

Simona Holiday season isn‘t helpful, but I‘m living day by day, trying/learning how to be okay ... 5y

Cinfhen Sending love @Simona 5y

Simona Thank you very much, Cindy 🙏♥️ 5y

CoffeeAndABook Joining the discussion pretty late 🤷🏼‍♀️ but since the German version is already covered I can offer up the Nepali word: Hium with the m just barely spoken. Hope that‘ll get you up to fifty!!! Kathmandu🇳🇵happens to be my birth town 😉 I was two when my parents left (that‘s where they met & married in the 70s) but I‘ve been back many times & know some Nepali. And SNOW is an important word to know in the mountains 🏔 ❄️ 5y

CoffeeAndABook I‘m so sorry @Simona & @Cinfhen for butting into this sensitive conversation with my comment!! I had started it way back, got interrupted and the app didn‘t load any of your conversation until I finished writing & sent it off. Sending my Litsy love to both of you 💓 5y

TrishB This is a fab set of posts 😘 @Velvetfur thanks! 5y

LeahBergen Okay, I see French was already covered so I‘ll offer up two Blackfoot (the First Nations/ indigenous people from my part of Canada 🇨🇦) words for snow. “Koonssko” = snow and “Immiko” = deep snow. Cool, huh? 😄 5y

catsuit_mango Sorry I'm late to the party, yes snow is neige in French ;) 5y

Cinfhen Tres cool @LeahBergen and danke @CoffeeAndABook that‘s pretty fascinating about your birthplace 😊Don‘t know if we‘ll hit 50 but maybe 25 😂😂 merci @catsuit_mango 🙏🏻🥶 5y

ephemeralwaltz Oh this is so much fun! I can offer Catalan - "neu" is Snow and "gel" is ice!!! ??❄️ 5y
