September is the ninth month of the year and is eagerly awaited by millions of spring lovers, but its spelling can generate doubts: Is it "setiembre" or "septiembre"? Despite smartphones' automatic correction, the RAE sheds light on the subject.
It is worth mentioning that the dictionary of the Real Academia Española provides precise meanings in its more than 93,000 lemmas or words that lead to a search. Its free website helps millions of people looking for the exact definitions of some words, including synonyms and antonyms.
Is it spelled "septiembre" or "setiembre"?
There are two popular ways to write the ninth month of 2022: "septiembre" with "p" or "setiembre" omitting the letter before. Thousands of websites and literature from any year would write the word with both variations. However, there is a rule for this definition.
According to the RAE Dictionary, both definitions are valid, although the spelling "septiembre" is preferred. The meaning is the same for both terms.
In addition, it depends on the geographical zone whether to use "septiembre" or "setiembre". In Peru, the variation with "P" is commonly used to refer to this month, both in written and verbal form. However, in other regions of Latin America, this letter is omitted.
