In Finnish language there are more than 60 words for snow, b 18 5, 2:11am

@Barracuda Lumi 1, hanki 2, nietos 3, viti 4, nuoska 5, pyry 6, sohjo 7, loska 8, tykky 9, räntä 10... mmm --- Now what are the other "snow" words?

As for "please" -- we don't like to tell people to please us with whatever it is we want. We just ask if they would do it. Though, there ARE varying degrees with increasing assumption they say no to ask *nicely*, but going too much can be mockery (implying they think too much of themselves usually) -- AND varying degrees to tell people to do stuff. In correct situation, even the "noun, swear-word!" style is appropriate.
