What's the counter for seasons?


I want to say, "the third season is fall".




Seasons can be a little tricky because they mean different things.

When talking about the four astronomical/meteorological seasons as in your
example, it is probably most natural to use a generic counter: 3つ目の季節は秋です.

Ways of counting other seasons:

  * 第3シーズン、3シーズン目 (For sports, orchestras, theatre, TV shows, business seasons)
  * 第3季、3季目 (For sports, business seasons)
  * 第3期、3期目 (Generic counter for periods of time, except not used to count the four astronomical/meteorological seasons.)
