build a snowman

[tzfujimino]

Hello.:-D
Please forgive me if it's a silly question.

Do you 'build a snowman' or 'make a snowman'?

Thank you.

 

[emsr2d2]

Either. I usually say "build".

 

[tzfujimino]

Thank you, ems.:-D
Is there any particular reason that you tend to use 'build' instead of 'make'?

Thank you again.

Cause it's built up of pieces. Normally three balls of snow of decreasing size.

I prefer 'make a snowman' as I am not using building materials.

I use "build" because that is what I've always heard. What one has always heard is a big factor in how one chooses vocabulary.
