March in European languages

10 comments

I wonder what the etymological roots of the word they use un northern Africa are

Just realized the romance languages have both a weekday and a month for Mars
- which weekday?
  
  I'm trying to remember my French from 20something years ago, but I think Tuesday (Mardi in French)?
- WE LOVE WAR.

I can never remember the months in Ukrainian. They're identical between English, German, and Russian, so I have no trouble with those, but I have no connection to the inherent meanings of the months in Ukrainian. Have to circle back to Russian usually
- Comes with actually speaking the language, and they are similar to some other slavic languages, e.g. polish.
  
  Yeah, Polish also used to call March "brzezień", which means the time in which birches grow

Portuguese is wrong in one detail, months are always capitalized. It should be Março, not março.
