schneien

German

Verb

schneien (third-person singular simple present schneit, past tense schneite, past participle geschneit, auxiliary haben)

  1. to snow

Conjugation

Usage notes

Rarely used in any person other than third person singular with the subject es.

Can be inflected as a strong verb in Upper German dialects (Alemannic and Bavarian), with the past participle geschnien. These dialects do not use the simple past, so a *schnie is presumably unattested.
