How to use 季度
季度 is common in business, finance and reports, often in phrases like 第一季度 (dì yī jìdù, first quarter) or 季度报告 (jìdù bàogào, quarterly report). Example: 这个季度的销售很好。(Zhège jìdù de xiāoshòu hěn hǎo.) Sales were very good this quarter.
季 (jì) means season, and 度 (dù) is a unit or measure, as in 温度 (wēndù). A 季度 is one season measured out on the calendar, which gives you three months, or a quarter of a year.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 季度 to mean season in the sense of spring or summer. For the weather seasons, use 季节 (jìjié) instead. 季度 is about three-month periods for planning and accounting.
