mevsiminde

Mevsiminde is a Turkish adverb meaning “in season” or “at its season.” It is used to indicate that something is available, ripe, or most appropriate during the current season. While it often refers to agricultural products, such as fruits and vegetables, it can also describe animals or events that occur at a particular time of year.

Etymology and form: The word is built from mevsim (season) with a locative suffix to convey the sense of “in the season.” It functions as an adverb and can modify predicates related to timing or suitability. In Turkish, mevsiminde is commonly paired with nouns to specify seasonal timing, as in “çilek mevsiminde” (strawberries in season).

Usage: Mevsiminde expresses that something is best to eat, pick, harvest, or enjoy at a specific time of year. It appears in cooking, agriculture, journalism, and everyday speech. It can also be used metaphorically to mean that something is happening at the right time or is appropriate for the season.

Examples:

- “Çilek mevsiminde çok lezzetlidir.” — “Strawberries are very tasty in season.”

- “Bu sebzeler mevsimindedir.” — “These vegetables are in season.”

- “İşler mevsimine göre ayarlanmalı; mevsiminde yapılmalı.” — “The work should be scheduled according to the season; it should be done in season.”
