☀️"Canicule" and "canícula" originate from the Latin "canicula," meaning "little dog". This is a direct reference to Sirius, the "Dog Star," whose heliacal rising historically coincided with summer's hottest period, also the source of the English expression "dog days". #Etymology

[Paul Smith @Paul_Translator]

@engforfootball Correct! Although I've also heard the term "remontada" being used in English more often recently, and in French it's already perfectly common. It seems to be becoming an international term.

A hyphenated phrase contains a hyphen, such as “full-time.” A non-hyphenated one does not. 🙃

@Teresa_trad Keep The Aspidistra Flying de George Orwell se publicó en un principio como Que no muera la aspidistra, pero en ediciones posteriores lo cambiaron a ¡Venciste, Rosemary!, supongo que porque poca gente sabía lo que era una aspidistra.
