baharda

Baharda is a term used in Turkish and Azerbaijani to denote the time period of spring. It is an adverbial phrase formed by the noun bahar (spring) plus the locative suffix -da, yielding baharda, which translates roughly as “in spring” or “during spring.” The word bahar itself is borrowed from Persian bahār and is widely used in both languages to denote the spring season.

In grammar, -da marks location or time in Turkish, and the form harmonizes with the root's vowels. Since bahar ends with a back vowel, the resulting combination is baharda. The phrase is used to describe events, conditions, or actions associated with the spring season and can appear at the beginning or the end of a sentence.

Examples include: “Baharda çiçekler açar,” meaning “In spring, flowers bloom,” and “Baharda havalar ısınır,” meaning “In spring, the weather warms up.” Baharda is common in both everyday speech and written language, and it also appears in poetry to evoke seasonal imagery. Related terms include bahar (spring) and other seasonal time expressions, such as phrases referring to different times of year.
