clima

climate

noun KLEE-mah Less Common

Origin: From Greek 'klima' (inclination, zone), via Latin 'clima'.

Also means

atmosphere

Usage Note

Clima is a masculine noun despite its -a ending — a common trap since most -a nouns are feminine. Cambio climático (climate change) is an extremely common collocation. In a figurative sense, el clima laboral ('the workplace atmosphere') and el clima político ('the political climate') are standard journalistic phrases.

Examples

"El clima de esta región es muy seco."

Natural Translation

The climate of this region is very dry.
