# yeti

noun (yeti, yetis; also the Yeti)

«yeti» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. A large, hairy, ape-like creature that some people say lives in the Himalaya mountains; it is a legend, and no one has ever proved it is real. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/Y/yeti/#m1)
2. Another name for the Abominable Snowman. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/Y/yeti/#m2)

### In the lessons

In stories and myths, the yeti is a mystery creature of the snowy mountains of Nepal and Tibet. In science lessons it is an example of a claim without good evidence: footprints and hairs said to be from a yeti turned out to be from bears and other animals.
