Usage tips
Word formation
'Schneebedeckt' (snow-covered) is made up of 'Schnee' (snow) and 'bedeckt' (covered), the past participle of the verb 'bedecken' (to cover). The first component names the material lying on a surface.
EXAMPLE
Vom Fenster aus sahen wir die schneebedeckten Gärten.
From the window, we saw the snow-covered gardens.
Typical collocations
Common combinations include 'schneebedeckte Berge' (snow-covered mountains), 'schneebedeckte Gipfel' (snow-covered peaks), 'schneebedeckte Dächer' (snow-covered roofs), and 'schneebedeckte Landschaften' (snow-covered landscapes). These combinations are particularly useful in descriptions of nature and travel reports.
EXAMPLE
Hinter dem See erheben sich schneebedeckte Gipfel.
Snow-covered peaks rise behind the lake.
Indicating extent
By placing 'teilweise' (partially), 'fast vollständig' (almost completely), or 'völlig' (completely) before 'schneebedeckt' (snow-covered), you can indicate how much of a surface is covered by snow. The adjective alone does not give any precise information about this.
EXAMPLE
Die Wiese ist nur teilweise schneebedeckt.
The meadow is only partially snow-covered.
