To say **"Four Seasons"** in Japanese would you say:

**Shiki** しき or **Yottsu no kisetsu** よっつのきせつ or will either do?

question
usage
Referring to the Four Seasons of Japan
Both mean "four seasons", but よっつのきせつ is a mere combination of よっつ ("four")
and きせつ ("season"), whereas しき is a dedicated word for that concept. Arguably,
しき can be seen as a more "beautiful" or "colorful" word that has a
stronger/vivider association with the beauty of changing nature, seasonal
events, and so on. よっつのきせつ may be preferred when you need to emphasize the
number _four_ for some reason (for example, "Draw four icons that correspond
to each of the four seasons").
