Months of the Year

Level 1

Twelve month names, written with a small letter.

How It Works

Month	Meaning	Month	Meaning
genièr	January	julhet	July
febrièr	February	agost	August
març	March	setembre	September
abril	April	octòbre	October
mai	May	novembre	November
junh	June	decembre	December

Month names are ordinary words: a small letter inside a sentence. Keep the accents and the cedilla of març. The month mai is spelled like the word mai (more).

Use en and the month for "in": en març. The month does not change. Learn them in order, from genièr to decembre. All twelve are masculine. Mind the spelling: genièr, febrièr and julhet differ from the French.

The month opens the sentence.

My brother arrives in March.
Març keeps its cedilla.

Common Mistakes

Starting a month with a capital, as in English.
Sèm en Febrièr.
Sèm en febrièr.
Occitan writes month names with a small letter.

Learn This First

A month goes after the preposition en, so en comes first.

Know the preposition en, because it goes before a month: Sèm en febrièr, En agost, anam a la mar.
