Rozwi folk, and most folk on Tirga, still have a pretty strong understanding of snow as Snow (Ded Mroz, Father Frost, etc), and gets treated in a personified way, even in run of the mill phrases like this.

:con: Rozwi

ʔelau kolfek dmitiθ flemūdū čolim ʔeyagu.
Snow-NOM.SG cover-PRS.3SG land<COLL>ACC cape-INST great 3SG.ANIM.M.GEN
Snow covers the land with his great cape.

You would even hear it expressed this way by a Rozwi meteorologist on the 10:45 pm news.

It's a pity that in addition to his rising hot front, Yuyan also appears to be having a stroke.

It never snows in this conpeople's land, so they do not have a root for 'snow'.
'jelatín hideyén' means 'water ice cream'.
'jelatín' means 'ice cream'. 'jela' means cold and '-tin' is diminutive.
English is not my native language. Sorry for any mistakes or lack of knowledge when I discuss this language.

much snow be-3sg

I don't remember the habit of saying "there is snow on the land". You say "There is snow [time reference]", like "There is snow now" (ванакн sан хат фрєо). If you really want, you may say љурі вах sан sєн љан [li˞ˈɾi‿wä sän sɛn ʎ͡ʑan] (there is snow on soil).

Qam tsomshi nqantuzha chubish chukhret.
[qam ˈtsomʃi ˈnʁantuʒa tʃuˈbiʃ tʃuˈkʰret]
many snow <NONF>blanket-be_like land 3S.L.TOP-thing-be_on

Qam takes the partitive, but mass nouns like tsomshi can only appear in the partitive anyway. Mass nouns also can't take verbalizers -- *chuchpshet isn't valid, so you have to say chubish chukhret.

Many snowflakes have fallen onto the land.

Note that the use of denvia (to fall) is not ambiguous here; if the snow would have gone away again, you would rather use triypa (to touch briefly).
Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.
