Difference between snowball fight and snowman in Korean
눈싸움·눈사람
눈싸움snowball fight
눈싸움 usually means a staring contest: two people look at each other and try not to look away first. It is a casual, playful word, and people also use it when two people silently stare at each other because of tension. Be careful: in some situations, 눈싸움 can also mean a snowball fight, so the context is important.
눈사람snowman
A 눈사람 means “snowman,” the figure people make by rolling snow into big balls. You usually see it outside after it snows. People often give it eyes, a hat, and a carrot nose.
The difference
눈사람 is a snowman, the figure you make from snow. It does not mean people staring at each other.
