Translate a sentence or longer piece of text. For single words or idioms, use the vocabulary forum.

How do you say exactly this in Spanish?
May and June are the best two months of the year.
Mayo y junio son los mejores dos meses del año.
or
Mayo y junio son los mejores meses del año.

For some reason the translator is giving me the second version which doesn't contain "dos". Why? Is that correct? What if I want to include "dos", is it still correct?

Yes, still correct.

You can even say Mayo y junio son los (dos) (meses) mejores del año.

Said in this way, you kind of emphasize the part of being the best.
