@AryamanA: could I ask you to review this? I've taken the words from the translation tables we have here but there were many synonyms... And I'm not sure the division in four seasons makes as much sense for India anyway (I've no idea, maybe it does?). But I suppose the Hindi diaspora in Europe/America/temperate latitudes do make use of the four seasons system, so this table could still be useful. What do you think? Sorry, I must sound awfully condescending but that's not my intention, I'm just curious ahah --Barytonesis (talk) 11:43, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Barytonesis: No worries! Traditionally, India has had 6 seasons, as listed at Wikipedia, but some of the old names have been readapted to the Western four seasons (which AFAIK is well known in India, alongside the 6-season system). I've changed some of the words, notably मौसम (mausam, weather) to ऋतु (ŕtu, season). I feel like बरसात (barsāt)/वर्षा (varṣā, monsoon) ought to be on here, even though it's not on the 4-season system. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 14:53, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
