How to distinguish frustration from frost? What is the difference between frost and frozen?

In this article, we will analyze the concepts of “frost” and “frozen”, as well as find out their main differences.

Often, foreigners who study the Russian language, and sometimes the indigenous people of Russia confuse the meanings of the words “frost” and “frozen”. Because of this, in the process of communication there are misunderstandings between the interlocutors. And when writing in inconsistency with the lexical meaning of words, the reader can incorrectly understand the meaning of the whole statement. Therefore, we propose in detail to consider the meaning of the words “frost” and “frozen” that do not get confused and enrich your horizons.

How to distinguish frustration and frozen?

These words are close in writing and sound, but still there are differences. And it is important to find them. But before comparing the differences in these two words, it is necessary to understand the meaning of each of them.

What is frost?

• Hard of rainfall.  It is ice deposits on thin, narrow and oblong -shaped surfaces. They can be in the form of crystals or small grains. The frost on the branches of trees, wires, wires lays down.
• On smooth, even surfaces, for example, roofs of houses and cars, frost is impudent in extremely poorly. Hardness happens in humid frosty weather, first of all, in winter.
• The frost can most often be seen in the northern regions of Russia, namely in the Murmansk, Magadan, Arkhangelsk regions, in the Altai Republic, in Kamchatka.
• There are two main types of frost. Grain frost is a white loose snowmated sediment. This type of frost can fall out both day and night with a slight frost and a sufficiently strong wind. Such precipitation can remain on the surfaces and several days.
• At the same time, the second species, namely, crystalline frost is a delicate loose pattern from crystals. It happens at low temperature and low wind. Precipitation in the form of frosts fall out, often at night, and in the morning under the influence of the sun they begin to melt.
• If the weather during the day is cloudy or pissed, then precipitation may not be melted for several days. Crystalline frost may appear from granular after a decrease in temperature on winter days.

Important: often the last named look is confused with hoarfrost. But the main difference between them is that hoar cannot lie on narrow thin surfaces, and frost on large wide planes. The reason because of which natural phenomena are confused as hoarfrost and frost is in the popular song “Blue India”. In the text of the song there is a line "Blue, blue hoarfrost lay on the wires." In fact, only frost can lie on the wires.

It is necessary to avoid the identification of ice or icy rain with frost, because these are completely different natural phenomena. Such a phenomenon as ice may appear as a result of enlargement of drops of fog from granular frost.

What is frozen?

• And for this you need to figure out what phenomenon to call the term "frozen". Frozen is atmospheric precipitation, such as very small, quickly dringing rain.
• These precipitation can be observed in almost all of Russia, primarily in the south of the Federation. They go in the fall, sometimes in the spring. Most often, the drizzling rain is short -term.
• Exhaust does not bring destructive consequences to the ground and crop, but is often accompanied by a decrease in temperature and severe cloudiness. Day or night - there is no significant difference for the appearance of frost.
• In everyday communication, the verb “drift” is common. It is he who displays the process when it is raining. The spoken synonym of the word is the verb “sprinkle”.

What is the difference between frost and frozen?

Let's analyze these words in more detail, from different angles. To establish the final verdict by differences. And do not guess what atmospheric precipitation has fallen today. And how to call them correctly.

Differences in writing between "frost" and "frost"

• The spelling construction of these words is very similar. The difference is, at first glance, only in one letter. But when writing two words, it is necessary to use verification verbs that will make it possible to write nouns in accordance with their meaning.
• For the word, frost is a verification verb - freezing, and for the word, frozen - drizzle.
• Freezing is to subject something to low temperatures, that is, it is a process associated with cold.
• Drink - go to light rain, that is, an action associated with the rain.

What is the difference in the sound of these words?

• From the point of view of orthoepy, it is difficult to distinguish the words “frost” and “frozen”. After all, the sound [Z ’] in the Russian language is likened to the sound [C’]. Therefore, it is necessary in oral communication to pronounce each sound very accurately. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult to understand the lexical meaning.

The difference in the lexical meaning of the words "frost" and "frozen"

Hardness and frozen are types of precipitation. But this is not the same look.

• Hardness is solid precipitation in the form of crystals or snow -like lumps. Hardness has similarities with snow and hail. It manifests itself in frost - insignificant or strong.
  • The frost lies on the surface at night, but can lie for several days. You can meet it in the north and in the central regions of the Federation. Hardness can cause significant harm to both the Earth and the crop and to people.
• Frozen, unlike frosts, is liquid precipitation. We can say that frozen is a subspecies of rain, along with a downpour and others. It is mainly found at plus temperatures. For such drizzling rain, the time of day does not play any role.
  • Exposure is common in the southern regions and in the center of Russia. Little rain does not cause natural disasters and does not harm.

A brief comparison of the concepts of frozen and frustration

• The general characteristic for frost and frost is natural phenomena, namely precipitation. But there are a lot of differences. The first is the consistency of water, with frozen water, the water appears in the form of a liquid, and with frost we see it as a solid substance.
• Second - necessary temperature regime And the time of day for the appearance of each of the types of precipitation. For frozen, this is a plus temperature regardless of the time of day and the presence of the sun. For frost - frost and lack of sunlight.

• Also that territorial predisposedb, that is, the difference in regions and climatic zones, where you can most often see frost and frozen. The inhabitants of warm regions are observed in the fall, the inhabitants of the northern edges in winter.
• The difference in consequencesthat can be caused by these natural phenomena. Exhaust is a rather harmless phenomenon that children often rejoice. There is even a folk sign that says that not only plants, but also people grow under the drizzling rain. The frost is always accompanied by frost, sometimes a strong wind, so it can leave people without a crop and for a while without electricity.
