"Zima to pora roku."

Translation: Winter is a season.

[IanIanIanIan_]

why is season two words? What would it translate to literally? thanks

[immery]

literally it is "time of the year", "period of the year" .

[vedrandrakul]

what is difference between "okres" and "pora roku"?

[Jellei]

Pora roku is "time of the year", that is "a season" - therefore for most of the world only spring/summer/autumn/winter.

"okres" is simply some period of time, also the 'period' in Physics, and period = "this time of month" for a woman.

Can 'pora' be translated to season also for sports or other activities? As in "Premier League season" or "hunting season".

[Jellei]

Nope, that's "sezon" for both of those meanings. Also a season of a TV series, for example.

"Pora roku" is more like "time of the year", and in this way it translates to "a season".

[Alfonso_C_]

Got it. Thanks a lot!

[BenConway6]

I tried 'winter is a time of year' but it said 'winter is a time of a year' is correct. I think it sounds more natural without 'a'.

[Jellei]

OK, added.

[foo__bar]

Seems like a bug in Duolingo to me :D

[deactivated user]

Hi,
Is there any reason why it must be "Winter..." and cannot be "The Winter..." ?
Thanks.

[Jellei]

I was told by two natives that neither an American nor a British person would use "the winter" here.

[Khud0]

What?

I wrote "Winter is a season of A year", the hint said "You used the wrong word. Winter is a season of year".
