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)?
Yes, it’s Tuesday. Martedì in Italian, mardi in French. Originates from the Latin name diēs Mārtis, the day of Mars
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.
I wonder what the etymological roots of the word they use un northern Africa are
