Do you know that Eskimos who are surrounded by snow have around fifty names for the types of snow!
In Nunavimmiutitut, the Inuktitut dialect spoken in Canada’s Nunavik region has at least 53, including matsaaruti, for wet snow that can be used to ice a sleigh’s runners, and pukak, for crystalline powder snow that looks like salt.
You can have crunchy snow or hard snow or soft snow! Just when you thought you just want snow! What’s the great deal you ask? Well, in spite of fifty names for different types of snow, the Eskimos do not have a single name for, you guessed it; snow!
Yes! They have snow all over but do not have a name for snow!
Which means there is a word for a falling snow or an already fallen snow! But no word which means just snow!
Then again another surprising fact is that the Scots have at least 400 words for snow!
Now don’t you feel lucky that all you need to know in English about snow is that it is called, well; SNOW!
It’s like you go to Starbucks or Coffee Day and there are tens of different types of coffee or drink! You have Mocha, latte or frappe! Then again you are stuck in the counter and all you actually wanted was maybe a simple filter coffee or even a Tea! But then you have to tell the person that you need a simple coffee! Nod for whipped cream or some other stuff he or she would tell and you would nod along as if you understood everything! Then when you get that huge cup of coffee after getting your name called out so loud, all you like to do it grab it and scoot!
Of course then you would drink a little and would just waste the rest! You may keep the cup with your name though!
Better to go with your daughter who would confidently go to the counter and say I want a Strawberry Vanilla Bean frappuccino with chocolate sprinles and whipped cream to go!
Now that’s snow off or rather show off! Of course when your work is as good as the work of Late Sushma Swaraj ji then thats itself can snow or show!
One of the most busiest days ever!
A quick sketch and an even quicker blog!
Shubh ratri!
