    Difference/fade away-melt away
    Message from zahra21 posted on 05-12-2013 at 07:49:10 (D | E | F)
    Hello everyone,

    I've been thinking about the difference between "fade away" and "melt away" for a month. Even advanced dictionaries couldn't help me that much.
    Can anybody help me with that please?

    Hello,

    A colour will fade away.
    Snow will melt away.
    Both will vanish, disappear.

    Hello,
    In general:
    Abstract, sensual things fade away e.g. colours, sounds, smells, love, beauty.
    Real things melt away e.g. snow, crowds, traffic, money
    Both verbs describe the same idea of a slow disappearing process.
