月份

• 拼音: yuè fèn
• 汉字拆解: 月 = pictograph of a crescent moon, also meaning 'month'; 份 = 亻 (person) + 分 (divide), meaning 'portion/share'

含义

Month. Refers to a specific month of the year or months in general.

Used when talking about months as a concept or asking which month: 几月份？(Which month?). Slightly more colloquial than just 月. While 月 is used with numbers (一月, 二月), 月份 is used in a more general sense or added after the month number for emphasis.

例句

1. 你是几月份的生日？
2. 六月份天气开始变热了。
3. 这个月份很适合旅游。
