noun
Meaning of "mitten" ("手套"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

Mom said, “Don’t forget your mittens,” so I forgot everything else instead, including my backpack.

Mittens are usually warmer than gloves because your fingers share heat together inside the mitten.
On the snowy bench a child slides a mitten onto one small hand, fingers warm together while the thumb finds its snug space. The spare mitten sits on a red scarf. Wind lifts the scarf; the child runs, mitten flapping, mitten clenched, mitten tugged free, laughter bright. At home the mitten dries, and the child smiles.
