Mastering how to say the seasons and months in Uzbek is an essential part of building your core vocabulary. Whether you’re planning a trip, talking about the weather, or setting future goals, this lesson will help you express time clearly and naturally.
Uzbek follows the Gregorian calendar, so the months and seasons correspond directly to those used in English. However, the words themselves come from a mix of Turkic and Russian roots, and some of them sound quite different. Below, you’ll find two helpful tables to guide your learning — one for the four seasons, and another for all twelve months of the year, complete with pronunciation.

As you review the months, you’ll notice that most Uzbek names are closely adapted from Russian, such as yanvar (January) and mart (March). This is a result of Uzbekistan’s history as part of the Soviet Union, and many of these borrowed forms are still standard today.
These vocabulary items are useful not only for travel and weather-related conversations, but also for filling out forms, talking about holidays, and understanding public announcements or signs in Uzbekistan.
