038 It Is Snowing

In this episode, ShaoLan and Josh from Transition talk about weather and snowing in this winter special. Besides knowing snowing in Chinese, you also learn how to describe both heavy snow and small snow.

To describe snowing heavily, you simply add “dà, 大” before “xuě, snow,” which becomes “dà xuě.” On the contrast, you can add “xiǎo, 小” to indicate small snow.

More bonus words in this episode include snowman, ski and university because of its similar pronunciation.
