Usage notes
- Usually feminine singular: la primavera. With seasons, Italian often uses in primavera, not *nella primavera* unless you mean a specific spring.
- For age, literary Italian can use primavere meaning years: ha venti primavere. In everyday speech, anni is much more common.
- As a flower name, primavera is uncommon in modern everyday Italian; primula is the usual word for primrose.
