🇬🇧🇪🇸 snowmobile - motonieve : English Lesson

Meaning of "snowmobile" ("motonieve"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

A snowmobile is a small motor vehicle that you ride on snow and ice instead of on roads. It has skis in the front and a wide track in the back instead of wheels. People use snowmobiles to travel quickly over snowy fields, frozen lakes, and winter trails. You sit or sometimes stand on it, steer with handlebars, and it can go much faster than walking in deep snow. Snowmobiles are often used for fun rides, winter adventures, and also for important jobs like rescuing people or carrying supplies in very snowy places.
