How to Say "months" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “months” is “meses” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
El año tiene doce meses.
The year has twelve months.
Voy a viajar por dos meses.
I'm going to travel for two months.
Los meses de invierno son muy fríos aquí.
The winter months are very cold here.
Singular vs. Plural
'Meses' is how you say 'months' (more than one). The word for just one 'month' is 'mes'. Notice you add '-es' because the singular form 'mes' ends with a consonant.
Always a Masculine Word
'Meses' is a masculine word, so you'll always use masculine words like 'los', 'unos', or 'varios' with it. For example, 'los meses de verano' (the summer months).
Forgetting the 'e'
Mistake: “Pasaron tres mess.”
Correction: Pasaron tres meses. In Spanish, when a word ends in a consonant (like the 's' in 'mes'), you almost always add '-es' to make it plural. This makes it easier to pronounce.
