Usage Note

Sesión loses its accent in the plural sesiones due to the stress shift. It covers parliamentary sittings, film screenings (sesión de tarde = 'afternoon showing'), therapy appointments, and recording sessions. It is a true cognate of English 'session', including its computing sense.

"La sesión parlamentaria duró tres horas."

Natural Translation
