Usage

Nevar is an impersonal verb typically used in the third person singular (neva, nevou, está nevando). In Brazil, snow is rare and limited to southern states like Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, so the verb is less commonly used in everyday conversation compared to other Portuguese-speaking regions.
