Season in Malayalam
Everyday Malayalam borrows the English word: സീസൺ (seesan), used exactly as in the mango season or the tourist season. For the older native sense, the right time or the ripe moment for something, പരുവം (paruvam) is the word.
Most common translation
Season, a particular part of the year, as in the mango season or the rainy season.
ഇത് മാങ്ങയുടെ സീസൺ ആണ്.
ithu maangayude seesan aanu.
This is the mango season.
