夏过

夏過
xiàguò
phrase

Meanings

  1. 1 (fragment) "summer has passed" — not a lexical word; appears as the opening of phrases such as 夏过秋来 "summer gone, autumn comes" or in livestock/aquaculture reports ("after summer")

Examples

Xià guò qiū lái, tiānqì jiàn liáng.
Summer has passed and autumn comes; the weather turns gradually cooler.
Xià guò zhī hòu, chítáng lǐ de yúmiáo yào fēn táng.
After summer has passed, the fingerlings in the pond need to be split among ponds.

Tips

usage
Not a dictionary headword. 夏过 is a productive phrase fragment ( "summer" + "pass/elapse") that routinely begins set expressions like 夏过 and seasonal farming/aquaculture sentences — which is almost certainly why it surfaces in the THUOCL news corpus as a "word." Treat as a phrase, not a lexeme.
