Sezónní

Sezónní is a Czech adjective meaning seasonal, referring to things connected with the seasons or to a particular season of the year. It describes phenomena, activities, or items that occur, are available, or vary within a limited period annually, rather than across the whole year.

Etymology and usage notes: The word derives from sezóna, meaning season, and the noun itself is often linked to the French saison. The Czech adjective is formed with the adjectival suffix -ní. The term is common in everyday language as well as in written text to specify seasonal characteristics.

Contexts and examples: Sezónní can modify a wide range of nouns. Common phrases include sezónní práce (seasonal work), sezónní zboží (seasonal goods), and sezónní zaměstnanci (seasonal workers). It is also used in meteorology and economics to describe sezónní výkyvy počasí (seasonal weather fluctuations) or sezónní poptávku (seasonal demand). In retail and tourism, contrasts are made with mimo sezónu (off-season) or celoroční/ all-season terms.

Related terms: The noun sezónnost or sezónnost (seasonality) is used in linguistic, statistical, and economic contexts to describe regular yearly patterns. While seasonal is the closest English equivalent, specific translations depend on context, such as seasonal work, seasonal pricing, or seasonal climate.
