The Chinese word **四季 (sìjì)**, meaning "the four seasons," is a straightforward and logical compound formed by combining the numeral **四 (sì)**, meaning "four," with the noun **季 (jì)**, meaning "season." It is a classic example of a determinative compound in Chinese, where the first element specifies the quantity or scope of the second, resulting in a concrete, enumerative term that directly denotes the complete set of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
