How it is used
- The business term for a calendar quarter, used in reports and finance, not for the four seasons of nature. 第一季度 (dì yī jìdù) - the first quarter, Q1. Common collocation: 季度报告 (jìdù bàogào) - quarterly report. Contrast with 季 alone, which means season, as in 四季 (sì jì), the four seasons.
