xuě

English translation of 雪

snow

The Chinese word for 'snow' is '雪' (xuě). It is usually used the same way as in English, to refer to the natural weather condition featuring soft, white flakes falling from the sky. It can also be used metaphorically, much like in English, to refer to something as being as pure as snow.
