SOFT HAIL?! What??
Also, it gives "graupel" as the English term, with a link here:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=graupel
I'm guessing there isn't a proper English term. Soz.

Date: 11/4/08 02:54 pm (UTC)Also I've found on the east coast of the US (at least this is where I first heard it), they have a term called "wintery mix". Personally, when they say that, I think of chex mix, and picture chocolate and powdered sugar covered chex mix raining from the sky...but then I tend to free associate ;)

Date: 11/4/08 03:18 pm (UTC)If it's water and dropping it's rain. If it's water and hanging in the air, then depending on droplet size it's mist or fog. If it freezes on hitting the ground, it was rain. If it hits the ground and bounces it's hail, if it hits the ground and goes splat it's sleet, and if it flutters to the ground and doesn't bounce, it's snow.
We have no common word for different sized hail.

Date: 11/4/08 04:03 pm (UTC)English is made from so many words from other languages (pyjamas, bungalow, pukka etc.) and when we don't have a good word (and sometimes even when we do), we'll take the word from the other language (sometimes change the spelling or pronounciation) and it becomes a perfectly good *English* word. And the German words I mentioned are all now "English" words, in an English dictionary and part of English vocabulary. The _English_ word for "angst" *is* "angst".
We don't really have a concept of "proper term", we'll put "R.S.V.P." on the bottom of an invite and not consider it is French, we'll use words from German, Italian, Hindi, Chinese etc. and they are all part of standard English.
no subject
Date: 11/4/08 04:14 pm (UTC)Amusingly, English "angst" doesn't seem to mean the same as it does in German, at least from what I can gather from context - the German "Angst" just means 'fear', maybe 'anxiety'.
The point about less awareness is a good one, though.

Date: 11/4/08 04:43 pm (UTC)I think it go into English through psycho-analysis and the writings around that, so through Freud, Jung etc. And as such picked up a specialised meaning since we had perfectly good English words for "fear" and "anxiety", but now needed a word that was similar but with those extra overtones of meaning.
There are a few other German words that get used pretty much as is, but that are rarer in common usage, like "Weltschmerz".
In much the same way we use French words/terms like "fin de siecle", "coup de grace", "coup d'etat", "reservoir", "art deco", "au naturel" as they are and consider them acceptable English.
