Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking business environments, ‘trimestre’ is the standard way to refer to a quarter of the year. While ‘3er’ is perfectly acceptable in informal writing or presentations, formal documents usually spell out ‘tercer’. Also, the direct‑object pronoun ‘lo’ is often omitted in very formal contexts, preferring the full noun (e.g., lanzar el producto).
