snowman
A human-like figure built from rolled-up snowballs, often with a carrot as a nose and pieces of coal as eyes.
Die Kinder haben im Garten einen großen Schneemann gebaut.
The children built a big snowman in the garden.
The word is a simple and clear compound made up of 'der Schnee' (snow) and 'der Mann' (man). So it is literally a 'man made of snow'.
Sobald der erste Schnee fällt, wollen die Kinder einen Schneemann bauen.
As soon as the first snow falls, the children want to build a snowman.
The verb that is almost always used with 'Schneemann' (snowman) is 'bauen' (to build). You 'build' a snowman out of snow.
Lasst uns nach draußen gehen und einen Schneemann bauen!
Let's go outside and build a snowman!
To describe a snowman, people often mention its typical parts: a carrot as a nose, pieces of coal as eyes and buttons, and an old pot as a hat.
Unser Schneemann hat eine krumme Karotte als Nase bekommen.
Our snowman got a crooked carrot for a nose.
