Introduction to Seasons
In Spanish, the word "las estaciones" refers to the four main periods of the year characterized by different weather patterns: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Each season has unique vocabulary and expressions, which are important for understanding and discussing time, weather, and cultural events.
Names of the Seasons
The four seasons in Spanish are: primavera (spring), verano (summer), otoño (autumn), and invierno (winter). These nouns are all feminine, so they use the article "la" in the singular form, for example, "la primavera."
Describing the Weather in Each Season
Each season has typical weather conditions often described with specific adjectives in Spanish. For example, primavera is often templado (mild), verano caluroso (hot), otoño fresco (cool), and invierno frío (cold). Knowing these adjectives helps describe daily weather or seasonal changes.
Common Expressions Using Seasons
Spanish also uses seasons in idiomatic expressions. For instance, "en primavera, la sangre altera" means "in spring, the blood stirs," reflecting increased activity or romantic feelings. Understanding such phrases enhances language comprehension and cultural knowledge.
