The seasons in Spanish are:
primavera (spring): pronounced “pree-mah-veh-rah”
verano (summer): pronounced “veh-rah-noh”
otoño (autumn): pronounced “oh-toe-nyoh”
invierno (winter): pronounced “een-vee-ehr-no”
It’s important to note that many Spanish-speaking countries, particularly those in the tropics, categorize the seasons into two: “estación seca” (dry season, sometimes also known as “verano”) and “estación lluviosa” (rainy season, sometimes also known as “invierno”).
Additionally, the seasons and the months they occur in can vary significantly across Spanish-speaking countries due to their geographic locations.
In Spanish, the seasons are typically preceded by the definite articles “el” or “la,” depending on which is being referred to. “Verano,” “otoño,” and “invierno” are considered masculine nouns and are therefore accompanied by “el” (e.g., “el verano”). “Primavera” is considered a feminine noun and is therefore accompanied by “la” (e.g., “la primavera”).
Keep in mind that definite articles are not always necessary. The seasons in Spanish can also be preceded by prepositions like “de” or “en” (e.g., “En primavera, las flores florecen”) or by a form of the verb “ser,” which means “to be” (e.g., “Le dije que es primavera todavía, no verano”).
