How to call spring in Tamil?

There is no single, direct translation for "spring" in Tamil that captures the same meaning as the English term.

Here's why and some options to consider:

* Tamil Calendar: Tamil culture traditionally uses a lunar calendar with 12 months, not the four seasons of the Western calendar. The closest Tamil equivalent would be the "Chithirai" month, which falls around April/May and is associated with the beginning of the summer season.

* Descriptive Phrases:

* You could use descriptive phrases like "pūkkāl" (பூக்கால்), meaning "flower season," or "vēyil muṟṟam" (வேயில் முற்றம்), meaning "the peak of summer," to convey the feeling of spring.

* Alternatively, "vaasantham" (வசந்தம்), a loanword from Sanskrit, is sometimes used to refer to spring, but it's not as common as the other options.

Ultimately, the best way to translate "spring" into Tamil depends on the context and the specific nuance you want to convey.
