よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "powder" and "dust". Use "powder" for products like flour, spices, and detergent, and "dust" mainly for dirt that collects on surfaces. Also, we usually say "some powder" or "a little powder", not "many powders" for one type.
意味

fresh light dry snow
コロケーション
fresh powder
|powder snow

意味
