뜻
Literally 'snow is falling'.
문화적 배경
Snow is deeply tied to the national identity through the art of Josef Lada, whose paintings of snowy villages are iconic. A 'White Christmas' (bílé Vánoce) is the cultural ideal. If 'padá sníh' on Christmas Eve, it's considered a blessing. In regions like Krkonoše, snow is a way of life and a major economic driver for tourism. In cities, 'padá sníh' often triggers 'sněhová kalamita' (snow calamity), a humorous term for the traffic chaos that ensues.
