== '''Seasons of the year in Italian (Estagioni)''' == | |||
Italy is a country with a Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild winters and hot summers. Italy has a mild winter and hot summer climate. Spring is mild with occasional rain, while autumn is cooler and more comfortable. Winter can get cold and snowy in the north. Italy's climate is one of its major attractions. | |||
Just like the months and days of the week, the names of the seasons in Italian are also derived from Latin. In Italian, the seasons are generally not capitalized unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence. It's worth noting that the Italian names for the seasons are similar to their English equivalents, with some slight variations. For instance, "Spring" in Italian is "primavera", which comes from the Latin words "prima" meaning "first" and "vera" meaning "green". Similarly, "Winter" in Italian is "inverno", which is believed to derive from the Latin word "hibernum" meaning "cold". | |||
