The Rainy and Dry Seasons

Level 3

oge + season word.

How It Works

Igbo land has two main seasons.

SayMeaning
oge udu mmirirainy season
oge ọkọchịdry season
n'oge ọkọchịin the dry season

The dry season is also the hot season. Use n' before oge to say “in the …”: Ọ dị ọkụ n'oge ọkọchị. “It is hot in the dry season.”

Oge means “time”, so oge ọkọchị is the time of the dry weather. Put either season after n'oge to say when something happens.
