Learning notes
Explanation
The word is formed from ฤดู “season,” ใบไม้ “leaves,” and ผลิ “to sprout or bud.” Its imagery is therefore that of the season when new leaves appear. Common expressions include ในฤดูใบไม้ผลิ “in spring,” ต้นฤดูใบไม้ผลิ “early spring,” and ปลายฤดูใบไม้ผลิ “late spring.”
Usage
It is used when discussing the climate, travel, flowers, clothing, and other seasonal topics in places with four distinct seasons, such as Japan, Korea, and much of Europe. It is a neutral term suitable for both conversation and writing.
Caution
Thailand’s climate is generally described in terms of the hot, rainy, and cool seasons, so this word usually refers to spring in a region with a four-season climate rather than a season in Thailand.
