English is increasingly used for communication all over the world. For the latest set of words that we’ve added to Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries online, we’ve chosen to focus on English as it is used worldwide, or World English (or even World Englishes). Many of these words are related to food (see our last blog post about banh mi), because people everywhere like to try new foods, and popular foods spread quickly around the world.

Foods that change when they travel – tikka masala and schnitzels

Banh mi is a tasty Vietnamese sandwich resulting from a mix of different cultures, and it is now becoming popular outside its native Vietnam. When food is exported in this way, it often undergoes changes, sometimes because some of the ingredients are not readily available in the new country, and sometimes because people have different tastes there, or have an idea for fusion food, mixing it with another ingredient or dish that is popular in that country.

When many people began to move to the UK from the Indian subcontinent in the second half of the twentieth century, for example, they brought with them their culinary traditions, and some people opened restaurants. The food they made quickly became popular with British people, but of course, the British at that time were not used to spicy food, so this food was adapted to British tastes. Yoghurt or cream, for example, were added to create milder dishes with a more liquid consistency, like our word of the month tikka masala (a combination of the existing dish tikka and a masala sauce. In due course, tikka masala travelled back to India and to other parts of the world and became popular there too.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Another example of culinary transformation can be found in the schnitzel, which in its native Europe was originally made with veal. When German immigrants took it with them to the United States, veal was not easily available, so they started to use beef instead. And when German Jews migrated to Israel, almost a century later, they began to use chicken, because that meat was cheaper there. So today, in the different countries where it is eaten, a schnitzel can be made with a variety of meats.

Foods that change over time – pigs in blankets

Tikka masala and schnitzel are terms that are entirely new to the English language. Sometimes a term that already existed in English evolves and the meaning changes as the dish’s popularity spreads. Take the snack food pigs in blankets, for example. It’s more commonly called pigs in a blanket in the United States, but then it isn’t actually the same thing there – in Britain, it’s sausages wrapped in bacon, but in the US the sausage is wrapped in pastry, rather like a British sausage roll.

British Pigs in Blanket

American Pigs in a Blanket

It seems that, in terms of sausages, the American meaning may have been the first one. When the pig in a blanket first crossed the Atlantic sometime around the middle of the last century, the meaning was adapted, possibly because Britain already had the sausage roll. Looking back at the origins of pigs in blankets, though, things get even more interesting. The first evidence in the Oxford English Dictionary goes back, as we can see below, to 1880, but it has nothing to do with sausages – the term was originally used for oysters wrapped in bacon!

Oxford Learner’s Dictionary definition

This oyster and bacon combo, however, was not in itself an American invention, as it is mentioned in British cookbooks of the time, under the rather strange name of angels on horseback. It seems this name may have come about because the edges of the bacon turn upwards when it is cooked, looking a little like the wings of angels.

A masala of languages – chakka jam

Sometimes, too, an English word is used together with a word from another language to create a new expression. Take chakka jam, for example – and despite what you might think about jam, this one has nothing to do with food! When blocking roads became a popular form of protest in India, this term was coined from the Hindi chakka (meaning “wheel”) and the English jam, as in traffic jam. A chakka jam, though, is a type of protest, a new meaning that does not exist in either of the words chakka and jam.

So, as we can see, in all the many varieties of World English new words are constantly coming in from other languages, the meaning of existing words is changing, and words

Masala Pizza

are being put together in new ways to create new meanings. Masala pizza, anyone?

Months in English with pronunciation — seasons

›Useful› Vocabulary ›

Remembering the names of the months in English for Russian speakers is usually not difficult, since the English months are consonant with the Russian equivalents.

Still, sometimes English learners have doubts about how to pronounce January or August in English, what pretext to put in front of the months, and how to correctly spell the English months in abbreviated form.

Months in English with transcription and translation

Today, most countries in the world use a calendar with twelve months. New Year in Great Britain begins in January, respectively, January is the first month, and December is the last.

Month table in English with transcription and pronunciation

Since the English names of the months are quite consonant with the Russian ones, you can easily remember them. As you study the English months, first of all pay special attention to pronunciation so that you can learn new words correctly right away.

Seasons and months in English

In the UK and the USA (as in Russia), a year consists of 4 seasons or seasons, each of which has 3 months

In some domestic and foreign sources, you can find information that in the UK the months are distributed according to the seasons in a slightly different way. They have two seasons (spring and autumn) for two months and two others (winter and summer) for four months.

The version about the uneven distribution of months over the seasons is not very popular, but we still offer you an extended version of the seasons table.

Abbreviations of months in English

Knowing about the addiction of the British to abbreviations, it should be noted that in calendars, diaries, official documents, travel tickets, they very rarely write the names of the months and days of the week in full.

As for abbreviated spelling of english months , then there are two types of abbreviations — two-character (two letters) and three-character (three letters).

It should be noted that the three-character abbreviation is typical for American English, and the two- and, in some cases, four-character abbreviation for British English.

Seasons and months in English

The names of the seasons and months are common vocabulary, so learning their names is very important for language learners.

Etymology of month names

Etymology — a science that studies the origin of words, reconstructing the vocabulary of the most ancient period.

Word month (month) associated with * mænon — Moon, month.
Month names in English originate from the Julian calendar. The original Roman calendar had 10 months. The first month of the year was March.

Julian calendar — a calendar developed by a group of Alexandrian astronomers led by Sozigen. The calendar is named after Julius Caesar, by whose decree it was introduced into the Roman Empire from January 1, 45 BC. NS. The year according to the Julian calendar begins on January 1, since it is on this day from 153 BC. NS. the consuls elected by the comitia took office. In 46 BC. Julius Caesar introduced the year count from January 1 and changed the number of days in some months. So, after the introduction of the Julian calendar, the average length of the year became 365,25 days: usually a year lasted 365 days, once every four years — 366 days.
In the Roman calendar, the four months of the year (March, May, July and October) consisted of 31 days, the rest of the months had 30 days. That is, there were 304 days in a year. In the XNUMXth century BC, the Romans reformed and added the eleventh and twelfth months: January, (from Latin Jānuārius) — in honor of the ancient Roman god of doors, roads and beginnings Janus, who was depicted with two faces, and February (from Lat. Februārius mēnsis — month of atonement), the name of which comes from the Roman festival of cleansing from sins februa, which was celebrated on February 15.

March (March) named after the ancient Roman god of war Mars.
April (April) — the name of the month comes from the Latin word aperire, which means to open, perhaps because the buds open in April. According to another version, the name of the month comes from the Latin word Aprilis, which comes from the Greek word Aphro, which is an abbreviation for the name Aphrodite. That is, April is named after the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite.
May (May) — got its name in honor of the Roman goddess of spring and the land of Maya.

June (June) — the month is named after the goddess Juno, who is the goddess of marriage bonds. To this day, some people believe and choose to get married in June.
July named after the ancient Roman general Julius Caesar, who was born this month. Initially, July was called quintilis (from Lat. Fifth), since it was the fifth in a row.
August originally called Sextilis (sixth), and then renamed in honor of the ancient Roman emperor Octavian Augustus.

The names of the following months come from Latin numerals:

September — from Latin septem (seven).
October — (October) is rooted octo (eight).
November (November)- novem (nine).
December — decem (ten) respectively. The suffix -ber in these names is an adjective suffix, therefore, literally months are translated as the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.

Month names in modern English

Month names are common vocabulary, which should not cause much difficulty in memorizing due to the partial similarity in the names of the months in English and Russian.

Abbreviated names of months in English

In writing, the names of the months, like the days of the week, are usually abbreviated to three letters. Only May, June, July are not abbreviated. September is abbreviated to four letters: Sept. Note that the days of the week and months in English are capitalized and the seasons are capitalized.

January — Jan.
February — Feb.
March — Mar.
April — Apr.
May — May
June — June
July — July
August — Aug.
September — Sept.
October — Oct.
November — Nov.
December — Dec.

The names of the days of the week in English are shortened to three or two letters:

Monday — Mon. — Mo.
Tuesday — Tue. — Tu.
Wednesday — Wed. — We.
Thursday — Thu. — Th.
Friday — Fri. — Fr.
Saturday — Sat. — Sa.
Sunday — Sun. — Su.

Clarification by seasons and seasons

1. Word season can mean not only “season” (summer, winter, spring, autumn), but also “season” as a part of the year, suitable for some kind of activity, work:

Spring is my favorite season. — Spring is my favorite season.
Tomorrow is the opening day of the duck hunting season… — Opening tomorrow season duck hunting.

2. In some tropical countries, for example, in Singapore, there are only two seasons (seasons):

Raining season — rainy season.
Dry season — dry season.

3. Seasons other than autumn can also be named with the addition of the root time:

winter — wintertime.
spring — springtime.
summer — summertime.

These words are translated into Russian either in the same way as the original ones (spring, summer, winter), or: springtime, summertime, wintertime.

Autumn — Autumn or Fall?

Word case (autumn) used in USA, UK spoken and written autumn.

By the way, when talking about the seasons, especially if it’s a school assignment, the phrase “favorite season” is often used — it has differences between the American and British spellings: favorite season (Br.) — favorite season (USA).

Fall is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (USA)
Autumn is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (Br.)

It is noteworthy that the word case did not arise in America, but is just the original term for the season, which arose in England no later than the 16th century.

It was originally short for Fall of the year (fall of the year) or fall of the leaf (falling leaves), but by the 17th century it was fixed as one word, long before the development of American English.

Therefore, although the word is used primarily in America, it is neither exclusively American, nor even a word of American origin.

Word autumncame to English from French fall in the 15th or 16th century, but only became common in the 18th century.

In Canada, as in the United States, they use mainly failed, and in Australia — autumn.

Different meanings of the word fall

Word case has two main meanings: 1) autumn, 2) fall. Because of this, a fall-fall pun is sometimes used.

Photo from http://www.imdb.com

For example, the title of the American film Legends of the Fall has been seen by some viewers and critics as ambiguous. On the one hand, the title can be understood as “Legends of Autumn”, on the other, as “Legends of the Fall”, because the film tells a story from a family with a very difficult fate.

The name of the computer game Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is considered in a similar way — it can be either “The Fall of Max Payne” or “The Fall of Max Payne”. Both options are well suited to the plot and style of the game.

Months in English: January — January

The first month of the year was named after the Roman god Janus, who was the patron saint of all beginnings and the keeper of doors, gates and passages. It is no coincidence that we are entering the New Year this month.

Janus was usually depicted with two faces facing opposite directions. The people called the two-faced god many-faced. The image of the god symbolizes the turn of the year. It is at this time that we turn to both reviews of the past and goals for the future.

Months in English: March — March

Initially, it was the beginning of the new year and the time for the resumption of hostilities. The name of the month was given to Mars — the god of war and the keeper of agriculture. In the first month of the year, after the winter break, they returned to the battlefields, and at the same time the agricultural season began.

Months in English: April — April

According to traditional assumptions, the name of the month comes from the Latin word aperire, which means open. The expression refers to the awakening of nature, which, under the influence of favorable weather, begins to «open up» to the world.

In some sources we will find the second meaning of the word April. This may refer to the name of Aphrodite — the goddess of love, beauty and flowers.

Months in English: May — May

It was named after the goddess Maya, who was the keeper of growing vegetation in Roman mythology. She has been identified with the concept of growth and fertility. May is often associated with the birth of something beautiful.

Months in English: June — June

Another divine month. The name June comes from the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter, goddess of marriage and childbirth.

Interestingly, in ancient Rome, the period from mid-May to mid-June was considered unfavorable for a wedding. Where does this thought come from? Ovid, an eminent Roman poet, after consulting the date of his daughter’s wedding to Flaminica Dialis (high priestess of Jupiter), heard that he must wait until June 15th. The end of the month is still considered the most favorable time for weddings.

Months in English: July — July

Julius Caesar is responsible for organizing time according to the Julian calendar. Making many changes, he named one of the months by his own name. Why did the politician choose this period? Not too many whims — in July the ruler has a birthday. Previously, the month was called Quintilis.

Months in English: August — August

The name of the month was given in honor of Octavian Augustus. The first Roman emperor was a relative of Julius Caesar. They say that the grand-nephew did not want to be inferior, and he followed in the footsteps of his uncle, naming the next month after him.

Months in English: September — September

It was originally the seventh month on the calendar (before January and February were added). The name comes from the Latin word septem meaning seven.

The picture continues. The name «November» comes from the Latin novem or «nine» (nine).

Months in English: December — December

It was originally the tenth month of the Roman calendar. Comes from the Latin word decem meaning ten.

Months in English — Abbreviations

In calendars and not only abbreviations that define specific months are very often used. All fortunately relate to the names. You shouldn’t have a problem remembering them. In general, abbreviations are the first three letters of a word. The exceptions are May, June and July — we do not abbreviate them.

January — Jan
February — Feb
March — Tue
April — Apr
May — May
June — June
July — July
August — Aug
September — Sept
October — Oct
November — Nov
December — Dec

Are you wondering if there should be dots after the cuts? We will answer diplomatically — they may be there, but they shouldn’t. In American English, we do not put dots, in British English, on the contrary, this is most desirable.

In any case, both versions are correct. It depends on us which one we choose. However, let’s not apply this principle consistently.

What to insert before the month name — in or maybe on

Speaking about the fact that something happened in this month, write in before the title.I am moving to Cracow in December.I am moving to Krakow in December.
When we want to specify a specific date, we add the adverb on.We got married on August 8.We got married on August 8th.
The exception is situations in which the words next or last appear in front of the month name. Then we skip the preposition.I started painting last November.I started painting in November.

What to do to memorize months in English?

In addition to working with associations, we can use several other techniques to get months in English into our brains.

It’s worth setting up English on your phone. We often have a calendar displayed on the start screen. When we come across names every day, then they will become something natural for us.
The method by which the youngest remember all the names is to make a calendar with the children on their own. Play combined with learning. It’s a great idea to spend the day together.
Of course, don’t forget about the regular lessons with the Speakingo online English course. The sentences are based on useful words. During the course, you will not only be able to test your memory, but also practice your accent.

A good way to remember something is with jokes:

Months in English with humor:

History of names

These words — they are all not purely English in origin, but have Latin roots. Here is the evolution of the name of each month with a brief background, writing and pronunciation in modern English.

January

Month names in English and Old English | Freedom of Speech Blog

It seems that 2015 has just come, and it’s already February. Before we have time to look back, December will come again, and with it the New Year’s bustle.

However, the Anglo-Saxons did not always use Latin names: before Latin borrowings they had their own Old English names.

January

January — January is the first month of the year. The word «January» comes from the Latin word «Janus» — «Janus». In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of time, the god of the beginning and the end.

He was always portrayed with two faces, usually young and old, looking in opposite directions. He could look back into the outgoing year and forward into the coming one, i.e. could see the beginning and end of the year.

Not a bad name for the first month of the year, isn’t it? Indeed, on the eve of the New Year, we always sum up the results of the outgoing year and make plans for the coming year.

In Old English, January sounded like «Wulfmonath», which meant «themonthofwolves», i.e. «Month of wolves». Once upon a time, many wolves lived in Foggy Albion, and on frosty winter days they came in search of food to the settlements of people, therefore January began to be called their wolf month.

February

But first, a few subtleties of the calendar vocabulary:

All 12 months in English are capitalized.
In abbreviated form, they look like this: three initial letters and a period: Jan., Feb., Jun. etc. May is written without a dot.
“Six months” translates as “6 months” (6 months in English). The phrase «half a year» (half a year) is much less common.
Instead of «Autumn» (autumn) used in the USA and Canada «Fall».
The date is also recorded differently in the UK and the US. Compare: 5 April 2016 (UK) and 5 April 2016 (US).

Here is the title of each month with translation and transcription:

Name of each month in English and how they came about. Some pronunciation features

January and February

These winter months sound very similar to similar Russian words, with some differences. Let’s say there is no “v” sound in the middle, as in Russian.

February is the most difficult month to pronounce. It sounds like ˈfɛbruəri, with the sound [r] in the middle of the word. Two [r] s side by side are often an obstacle for language learners. However, you can often hear how even native speakers, especially Americans, say only one [r] in a word: ˈfɛbjuəri, and this is also the norm.

As already noted, months in English are capitalized. This is done because almost all of them are derived from proper names. Each of these words has its own history and is therefore unique.

January comes from the name of the god Janus, who was honored this month.
February comes from the word «Februa» — an ancient Roman rite of purification, which was held on February 15th.

March, April, May

Three spring months sound like Russians. Additional associations for one hundred percent memorization:

March named for Mars, the Roman god of war.
April — in honor of the goddess Aphrodite.
May — the month of Maya, the goddess of spring.

June, July, August

This is the summer 3 months in English.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to confuse «June» and «July» in Russian? In English, there is no such problem; in the words June and July, even the number of syllables is different.

June named after Juno — the goddess of marriage and female happiness.

This is where the stories with the ancient Roman deities end. Julius Caesar named the next month after himself (Julius), and he had the right to do so, because it was he who reformed the calendar. Later, the reforms were continued by Octavian Augustus, and also named one month in his honor.

September, October, November

Three autumn months in English are named according to their ordinal numbers: September — the seventh (septem in Latin), October — the eighth (octo), November — the ninth (novem). Stop, why don’t the numbers match the modern ones? The fact is that earlier, among the ancient Greeks, a year consisted of ten months. The first month was March. After the reforms of Caesar and Augustus, there were twelve months, but some names remained.

December

Falls under the same principle as the fall months. According to the old calendar, it was the tenth month (decem — 10 in Latin).

Etymology of month names

Etymology — a science that studies the origin of words, reconstructing the vocabulary of the most ancient period.

Word month (month) associated with * mænon — Moon, month.
Month names in English originate from the Julian calendar. The original Roman calendar had 10 months. The first month of the year was March.

Julian calendar — a calendar developed by a group of Alexandrian astronomers led by Sozigen. The calendar is named after Julius Caesar, by whose decree it was introduced into the Roman Empire from January 1, 45 BC. NS. The year according to the Julian calendar begins on January 1, since it is on this day from 153 BC. NS. the consuls elected by the comitia took office. In 46 BC. Julius Caesar introduced the year count from January 1 and changed the number of days in some months. So, after the introduction of the Julian calendar, the average length of the year became 365,25 days: usually a year lasted 365 days, once every four years — 366 days.
In the Roman calendar, the four months of the year (March, May, July and October) consisted of 31 days, the rest of the months had 30 days. That is, there were 304 days in a year. In the XNUMXth century BC, the Romans reformed and added the eleventh and twelfth months: January, (from Latin Jānuārius) — in honor of the ancient Roman god of doors, roads and beginnings Janus, who was depicted with two faces, and February (from Lat. Februārius mēnsis — month of atonement), the name of which comes from the Roman festival of cleansing from sins februa, which was celebrated on February 15.

March (March) named after the ancient Roman god of war Mars.
April (April) — the name of the month comes from the Latin word aperire, which means to open, perhaps because the buds open in April. According to another version, the name of the month comes from the Latin word Aprilis, which comes from the Greek word Aphro, which is an abbreviation for the name Aphrodite. That is, April is named after the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite.
May (May) — got its name in honor of the Roman goddess of spring and the land of Maya.

June (June) — the month is named after the goddess Juno, who is the goddess of marriage bonds. To this day, some people believe and choose to get married in June.
July named after the ancient Roman general Julius Caesar, who was born this month. Initially, July was called quintilis (from Lat. Fifth), since it was the fifth in a row.
August originally called Sextilis (sixth), and then renamed in honor of the ancient Roman emperor Octavian Augustus.

The names of the following months come from Latin numerals:

September — from Latin septem (seven).
October — (October) is rooted octo (eight).
November (November)- novem (nine).
December — decem (ten) respectively. The suffix -ber in these names is an adjective suffix, therefore, literally months are translated as the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.

Clarification by seasons and seasons

1. Word season can mean not only “season” (summer, winter, spring, autumn), but also “season” as a part of the year, suitable for some kind of activity, work:

Spring is my favorite season. — Spring is my favorite season.
Tomorrow is the opening day of the duck hunting season… — Opening tomorrow season duck hunting.

2. In some tropical countries, for example, in Singapore, there are only two seasons (seasons):

Raining season — rainy season.
Dry season — dry season.

3. Seasons other than autumn can also be named with the addition of the root time:

winter — wintertime.
spring — springtime.
summer — summertime.

These words are translated into Russian either in the same way as the original ones (spring, summer, winter), or: springtime, summertime, wintertime.

Autumn — Autumn or Fall?

Word case (autumn) used in USA, UK spoken and written autumn.

Fall is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (USA)
Autumn is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (Br.)

It is noteworthy that the word case did not arise in America, but is just the original term for the season, which arose in England no later than the 16th century.

Therefore, although the word is used primarily in America, it is neither exclusively American, nor even a word of American origin.

Word autumncame to English from French fall in the 15th or 16th century, but only became common in the 18th century.

In Canada, as in the United States, they use mainly failed, and in Australia — autumn.

Different meanings of the word fall

Word case has two main meanings: 1) autumn, 2) fall. Because of this, a fall-fall pun is sometimes used.

Speaking about the fact that something happened in this month, write in before the title.I am moving to Cracow in December.I am moving to Krakow in December.
When we want to specify a specific date, we add the adverb on.We got married on August 8.We got married on August 8th.
The exception is situations in which the words next or last appear in front of the month name. Then we skip the preposition.I started painting last November.I started painting in November.

Name of months in English

Historical knowledge about the origin of these words will help to understand how months are written in English. Then memorizing them in writing and in speech will become meaningful and easier.

History of names

These words — they are all not purely English in origin, but have Latin roots. Here is the evolution of the name of each month with a brief background, writing and pronunciation in modern English.

January

The first winter month in England before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar was called «Wulf (wolf) Month» (now and then — first written in Old English). It meant “wolf month”, because during this period in England, due to cold weather and lack of food in the forests, wolves went to villages and began to attack livestock, even people. The name that we have now comes from the name of the two-faced Janus, the Roman god of the beginning and end.

February

The second winter month was once in Britain called «Sprote Kale Month»: this meant that cabbage (kale) began to sprout in the closets. And in ancient times of Rome, the month of February was a period of repentance, absolution, hence the origin of the name — in honor of the god of purification and remembrance of the dead Februus.

March

The beginning of spring in the old calendar of England was associated with strong winds, therefore this time was called «Hyld Month» — the month of the winds. The Gregorian calendar system brought with it a word that arose from the god of war Mars: March was the first month of the year in the Roman Empire for a long time, accordingly it was named after the main deity.

April

April, which with the introduction of Christianity in Britain has always celebrated the holy holiday of Easter, was previously called «Easter Month» (Easter — Easter). The emergence of a later name is the subject of many years of controversy among linguists.

Some argue that the word originated from the name of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Others are more inclined to the version that the progenitor of the word «April» in English was the Roman word «aperio», meaning «to open, to dissolve.»

This option is more plausible, because it is in April that leaves bloom on the trees, the first flowers appear in the meadows.

May

The wonderful month of May, when the meadows were covered with fresh grass, the British called in the old days «the month of triple milking» — «Thrimilce (three milk) Month». The cows happily ate fresh grass after the annoying winter hay and gave so much milk that they had to be milked three times a day. The Romans gave the name Maya in honor of the goddess Maya, who was very revered by them as bringing fertility and prosperity.

June

June, due to the beginning of droughts, was called in old England «Dere Month» (dere — the former version of the word dry), that is, «dry month». The Romans gave the name to this period in the calendar by the name of Juno, wife of Jupiter. The ancient goddess, the patroness of marriage, was very loved by Roman women.

July

The next summer month, the British called «Maed Month» (maed — modern meadow — meadow), «month of the meadows»: flowers and grasses flourished in the pastures. The Romans based the name of July on the name of the emperor Julius Caesar, who was born that month.

August

«Weod Month» (weod — weeds — grasses, plants) — this was the name of August in old England, because hay was started for the winter. The Romans chose the nickname of Emperor Octavian Augustus for the name of this month: «August» meant «divine.»

September

Harvest Month is the old name for the first autumn month. The Roman version comes from the number «sept» (seven): since March was once the first in the Roman calendar, September was the seventh, respectively.

October

October, when they began to make wine, the British called «Win (modern wine) Month» — «wine month». The Roman version is also associated with a number, specifically with the eighth place of October according to the old calendar — «octo» in Latin.

November

November was once called “Blod (blood) Month”, translated as “bloody month”. In the pre-Christian period, this was the time of sacrifices (sometimes even human) to the pagan gods. The Romans, again, did not become too philosophical and gave November a name by the ordinal number from the Latin word «novem» — nine.

December

Before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar, the British called December “Halig (holy) Month”, that is, “holy month”: after all, Jesus Christ was born in December. The Romans named the last month of the year again by number, specifically — «decem», ten.

Seasons

From school lessons, we know that the year consists of four seasons — the seasons: winter, spring, summer, autumn.

Month names in English and Old English | Freedom of Speech Blog

It seems that 2015 has just come, and it’s already February. Before we have time to look back, December will come again, and with it the New Year’s bustle.

However, the Anglo-Saxons did not always use Latin names: before Latin borrowings they had their own Old English names.

January

Not a bad name for the first month of the year, isn’t it? Indeed, on the eve of the New Year, we always sum up the results of the outgoing year and make plans for the coming year.

February

The name «February» — February — comes from the Latin word «februa», which means «purification», because it was in February that the Romans held a festival of purification.

Before borrowing the Latin word, the Anglo-Saxons called February “Sprote-Kale-Monath”, where “Kale” means “cabbage”, and “Sprote” means “sprout, sprout”. Thus, February was the month when “the cabbage began to grow”. As you can see, the Romans thought about festivals and fun ceremonies, while the Anglo-Saxons watched nature and thought about their agricultural problems.

March

March — March is the month of Mars, the god of war among the Romans. March was the earliest warmest month when the Romans could go to war. Before Julius Caesar, March was the first month of the year in the Roman calendar.

March in Britain usually comes with strong winds, so it is not surprising that in ancient times the British called it “Hyld-Monath”, which means “noisy month” or “month with noisy winds”. Hence the English proverb «IfMarchcomesinalion, itwillgooutalamb» — «March comes with a storm, and leaves with warmth.»

April

No one can say for sure where the name of the month April came from — April. There are several versions. According to one of them, the name goes back to the Latin root “apero-”, which means “second”, because according to the Roman calendar April was the second month of the year after March.

Some believe that the month was named after the Etruscan goddess Apriu.

The most widespread opinion is that the name of the month comes from the Latin word “aperire”, which means “to open”, because it is in April that the buds and buds of flowers begin to open.

In Old English, April was called “Easter-Monath” — the month in which Easter was usually celebrated.

May

May — May — named after the Roman goddess of growth Maya. She was the goddess of spring, because in spring everything grows, blooms, blooms.

The Old English name is not so poetic. The Anglo-Saxons called May “Thrimilce”, which means “to milk three times”. In May, the cows gave so much milk that the peasants had to milk them three times a day.

The farmers were so busy with their farming in May that most likely there was a saying from there that you shouldn’t play weddings in May: “Marry in the month of May, and you’ll surely rue the day” — “Get married in May, and you will surely damn that day. ”

By the way, the Romans also believed that May was a bad time for weddings. Perhaps that is why we also have a proverb: «To marry in May is to suffer all your life.»

June

June — June — was named after the goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter, who was the Roman goddess of marriage and motherhood. Even to this day, some couples prefer to marry in June.

But the Anglo-Saxons called June “Sere-Monath”, i.e. «Dry month». As you can see, agricultural affairs are again in the first place with them.

July

July — July — is named after the great ancient Roman consul Julius Caesar. It was his birthday this month.

In Old English, July sounded like “Maed-Monath”, which meant “meadowmonth”, ie. “Month of the meadows” because in July the meadows are covered with flowers.

August

August — August — was named after the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus. This month was happy for the emperor: he won a large number of victories, celebrated three triumphs, put an end to civil wars. By the way, Octavian Augustus was categorically opposed to having fewer days in his month than in July, named after Caesar. So he took one day from February and added it to August. That is why there are 28 days in February, and 31 in August.

In Old English, August was called “Weod-Monath”, ie. “The month of weeds”, which means “month of the weeds”, although at the time “weed” meant vegetation in general.

September, October, November, December

The Romans did not really bother with the names of these months and called them simply ordinal numbers: September– from the Latin “septem” — “seventh”; October — «octo» — «eighth»; November — “novem” — “ninth”; December — “decem” — “tenth”, because, as you remember, the first month of the year for the Romans was March.

The Anglo-Saxons had more descriptive names for these months. September was called “Harfest-Monath”, i.e. “The harvest month” which means “harvest month”. October was “Win-Monath” — “the wine month”, i.e. «Wine month» because it was the month of the grape harvest. November was called “Blod-Monath” — “the blood month”, i.e.

«Bloody month», because in November the Anglo-Saxons sacrificed animals to their gods. Another explanation is that in November people killed livestock and salted meat for the winter. December was “Mid-Winter-Monath” — “the month of the middle of winter”, i.e. “The month of the middle of winter”, although the Christians of that time called it “Halig-Monath” — “the holy month”, i.e.

“Holy month”, as in December the Nativity of Christ is celebrated.

As you can see, Old English month names are more representative of the weather conditions or agricultural realities of the time, while Roman month names are associated with Roman gods, emperors, or simply mean ordinal numbers. In general, the English names of the months are quite consonant with the Russian ones, so English learners usually have no problems remembering them.

But first, a few subtleties of the calendar vocabulary:

All 12 months in English are capitalized.
In abbreviated form, they look like this: three initial letters and a period: Jan., Feb., Jun. etc. May is written without a dot.
“Six months” translates as “6 months” (6 months in English). The phrase «half a year» (half a year) is much less common.
Instead of «Autumn» (autumn) used in the USA and Canada «Fall».
The date is also recorded differently in the UK and the US. Compare: 5 April 2016 (UK) and 5 April 2016 (US).

Here is the title of each month with translation and transcription:

Name of each month in English and how they came about. Some pronunciation features

January and February

These winter months sound very similar to similar Russian words, with some differences. Let’s say there is no “v” sound in the middle, as in Russian.

As already noted, months in English are capitalized. This is done because almost all of them are derived from proper names. Each of these words has its own history and is therefore unique.

January comes from the name of the god Janus, who was honored this month.
February comes from the word «Februa» — an ancient Roman rite of purification, which was held on February 15th.

March, April, May

Three spring months sound like Russians. Additional associations for one hundred percent memorization:

March named for Mars, the Roman god of war.
April — in honor of the goddess Aphrodite.
May — the month of Maya, the goddess of spring.

June, July, August

This is the summer 3 months in English.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to confuse «June» and «July» in Russian? In English, there is no such problem; in the words June and July, even the number of syllables is different.

June named after Juno — the goddess of marriage and female happiness.

September, October, November

December

Falls under the same principle as the fall months. According to the old calendar, it was the tenth month (decem — 10 in Latin).

«Month»: translation into English and pronunciation secrets

month [mʌnθ] — month

The word «month» — month — formed from the word «Moon» (moon). A long time ago, looking at the changing phases of the moon, people came up with the idea of measuring time by being guided by it. In Russian, the connection between the word «month» in the meaning of «moon» and the calendar month is also obvious.

To learn how to pronounce the word «month» correctly in English, you need:

Pronounce the first three sounds [mʌn];
On the sound [n], place the tongue between the teeth, preparing to pronounce the sound [θ];
Make the sound [θ], the tongue remains between the teeth.

It is important not to hesitate to stick out your tongue when pronouncing the interdental sound [θ]. In Russian, there are no such sounds, so such an action seems strange, but in English it is absolutely natural and normal.

Now let’s complicate the task and say the word «months» (months).

It is important to pronounce not [mʌns], but [mʌnθs] — all five sounds. The difference between these options will be heard by a native speaker.

Say [mʌn];
Already at the sound [n], get ready for the next sound — the tongue goes to the teeth in advance;
Interdental [θ] — on it the tongue begins to return back into the oral cavity;
Move the tip of your tongue gently behind your upper teeth, without stopping the air flow, and make the sound [s].

Say all five sounds smoothly, one after the other, slowly, several times. When you feel some freedom, say a little faster:
Months. Months. Twelve months. three months. three summer months.

The similarity in the sound of some Russian and English words is an absolute plus, of course, the translation is immediately clear. This is the case with the names of the months. Now that you know their origins, as well as the subtleties of pronunciation, you can easily use them in speech.

Etymology of month names

Etymology — a science that studies the origin of words, reconstructing the vocabulary of the most ancient period.

Word month (month) associated with * mænon — Moon, month.
Month names in English originate from the Julian calendar. The original Roman calendar had 10 months. The first month of the year was March.

Julian calendar — a calendar developed by a group of Alexandrian astronomers led by Sozigen. The calendar is named after Julius Caesar, by whose decree it was introduced into the Roman Empire from January 1, 45 BC. NS. The year according to the Julian calendar begins on January 1, since it is on this day from 153 BC. NS. the consuls elected by the comitia took office. In 46 BC. Julius Caesar introduced the year count from January 1 and changed the number of days in some months. So, after the introduction of the Julian calendar, the average length of the year became 365,25 days: usually a year lasted 365 days, once every four years — 366 days.
In the Roman calendar, the four months of the year (March, May, July and October) consisted of 31 days, the rest of the months had 30 days. That is, there were 304 days in a year. In the XNUMXth century BC, the Romans reformed and added the eleventh and twelfth months: January, (from Latin Jānuārius) — in honor of the ancient Roman god of doors, roads and beginnings Janus, who was depicted with two faces, and February (from Lat. Februārius mēnsis — month of atonement), the name of which comes from the Roman festival of cleansing from sins februa, which was celebrated on February 15.

March (March) named after the ancient Roman god of war Mars.
April (April) — the name of the month comes from the Latin word aperire, which means to open, perhaps because the buds open in April. According to another version, the name of the month comes from the Latin word Aprilis, which comes from the Greek word Aphro, which is an abbreviation for the name Aphrodite. That is, April is named after the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite.
May (May) — got its name in honor of the Roman goddess of spring and the land of Maya.

June (June) — the month is named after the goddess Juno, who is the goddess of marriage bonds. To this day, some people believe and choose to get married in June.
July named after the ancient Roman general Julius Caesar, who was born this month. Initially, July was called quintilis (from Lat. Fifth), since it was the fifth in a row.
August originally called Sextilis (sixth), and then renamed in honor of the ancient Roman emperor Octavian Augustus.

The names of the following months come from Latin numerals:

September — from Latin septem (seven).
October — (October) is rooted octo (eight).
November (November)- novem (nine).
December — decem (ten) respectively. The suffix -ber in these names is an adjective suffix, therefore, literally months are translated as the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.

Month names in modern English

Month names are common vocabulary, which should not cause much difficulty in memorizing due to the partial similarity in the names of the months in English and Russian.

1. Word season can mean not only “season” (summer, winter, spring, autumn), but also “season” as a part of the year, suitable for some kind of activity, work:

Spring is my favorite season. — Spring is my favorite season.
Tomorrow is the opening day of the duck hunting season… — Opening tomorrow season duck hunting.

Raining season — rainy season.
Dry season — dry season.

3. Seasons other than autumn can also be named with the addition of the root time:

winter — wintertime.
spring — springtime.
summer — summertime.

These words are translated into Russian either in the same way as the original ones (spring, summer, winter), or: springtime, summertime, wintertime.

Autumn — Autumn or Fall?

Word case (autumn) used in USA, UK spoken and written autumn.

Fall is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (USA)
Autumn is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (Br.)

It is noteworthy that the word case did not arise in America, but is just the original term for the season, which arose in England no later than the 16th century.

Therefore, although the word is used primarily in America, it is neither exclusively American, nor even a word of American origin.

Word autumncame to English from French fall in the 15th or 16th century, but only became common in the 18th century.

In Canada, as in the United States, they use mainly failed, and in Australia — autumn.

Different meanings of the word fall

Word case has two main meanings: 1) autumn, 2) fall. Because of this, a fall-fall pun is sometimes used.

When we want to specify a specific date, we add the adverb on.We got married on August 8.We got married on August 8th.
The exception is situations in which the words next or last appear in front of the month name. Then we skip the preposition.I started painting last November.I started painting in November.

Month names in English and Old English | Freedom of Speech Blog

It seems that 2015 has just come, and it’s already February. Before we have time to look back, December will come again, and with it the New Year’s bustle.

However, the Anglo-Saxons did not always use Latin names: before Latin borrowings they had their own Old English names.

January

Not a bad name for the first month of the year, isn’t it? Indeed, on the eve of the New Year, we always sum up the results of the outgoing year and make plans for the coming year.

February

The name «February» — February — comes from the Latin word «februa», which means «purification», because it was in February that the Romans held a festival of purification.

March

April

Some believe that the month was named after the Etruscan goddess Apriu.

The most widespread opinion is that the name of the month comes from the Latin word “aperire”, which means “to open”, because it is in April that the buds and buds of flowers begin to open.

In Old English, April was called “Easter-Monath” — the month in which Easter was usually celebrated.

May

May — May — named after the Roman goddess of growth Maya. She was the goddess of spring, because in spring everything grows, blooms, blooms.

The farmers were so busy with their farming in May that most likely there was a saying from there that you shouldn’t play weddings in May: “Marry in the month of May, and you’ll surely rue the day” — “Get married in May, and you will surely damn that day. ”

By the way, the Romans also believed that May was a bad time for weddings. Perhaps that is why we also have a proverb: «To marry in May is to suffer all your life.»

June

June — June — was named after the goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter, who was the Roman goddess of marriage and motherhood. Even to this day, some couples prefer to marry in June.

But the Anglo-Saxons called June “Sere-Monath”, i.e. «Dry month». As you can see, agricultural affairs are again in the first place with them.

July

July — July — is named after the great ancient Roman consul Julius Caesar. It was his birthday this month.

In Old English, July sounded like “Maed-Monath”, which meant “meadowmonth”, ie. “Month of the meadows” because in July the meadows are covered with flowers.

August

In Old English, August was called “Weod-Monath”, ie. “The month of weeds”, which means “month of the weeds”, although at the time “weed” meant vegetation in general.

September, October, November, December

“Holy month”, as in December the Nativity of Christ is celebrated.

But first, a few subtleties of the calendar vocabulary:

All 12 months in English are capitalized.
In abbreviated form, they look like this: three initial letters and a period: Jan., Feb., Jun. etc. May is written without a dot.
“Six months” translates as “6 months” (6 months in English). The phrase «half a year» (half a year) is much less common.
Instead of «Autumn» (autumn) used in the USA and Canada «Fall».
The date is also recorded differently in the UK and the US. Compare: 5 April 2016 (UK) and 5 April 2016 (US).

Here is the title of each month with translation and transcription:

Name of each month in English and how they came about. Some pronunciation features

January and February

These winter months sound very similar to similar Russian words, with some differences. Let’s say there is no “v” sound in the middle, as in Russian.

As already noted, months in English are capitalized. This is done because almost all of them are derived from proper names. Each of these words has its own history and is therefore unique.

January comes from the name of the god Janus, who was honored this month.
February comes from the word «Februa» — an ancient Roman rite of purification, which was held on February 15th.

March, April, May

Three spring months sound like Russians. Additional associations for one hundred percent memorization:

March named for Mars, the Roman god of war.
April — in honor of the goddess Aphrodite.
May — the month of Maya, the goddess of spring.

June, July, August

This is the summer 3 months in English.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to confuse «June» and «July» in Russian? In English, there is no such problem; in the words June and July, even the number of syllables is different.

June named after Juno — the goddess of marriage and female happiness.

September, October, November

December

Falls under the same principle as the fall months. According to the old calendar, it was the tenth month (decem — 10 in Latin).

«Month»: translation into English and pronunciation secrets

month [mʌnθ] — month

To learn how to pronounce the word «month» correctly in English, you need:

Pronounce the first three sounds [mʌn];
On the sound [n], place the tongue between the teeth, preparing to pronounce the sound [θ];
Make the sound [θ], the tongue remains between the teeth.

Now let’s complicate the task and say the word «months» (months).

It is important to pronounce not [mʌns], but [mʌnθs] — all five sounds. The difference between these options will be heard by a native speaker.

Say [mʌn];
Already at the sound [n], get ready for the next sound — the tongue goes to the teeth in advance;
Interdental [θ] — on it the tongue begins to return back into the oral cavity;
Move the tip of your tongue gently behind your upper teeth, without stopping the air flow, and make the sound [s].

Say all five sounds smoothly, one after the other, slowly, several times. When you feel some freedom, say a little faster:
Months. Months. Twelve months. three months. three summer months.

Etymology of month names

Etymology — a science that studies the origin of words, reconstructing the vocabulary of the most ancient period.

Word month (month) associated with * mænon — Moon, month.
Month names in English originate from the Julian calendar. The original Roman calendar had 10 months. The first month of the year was March.

Julian calendar — a calendar developed by a group of Alexandrian astronomers led by Sozigen. The calendar is named after Julius Caesar, by whose decree it was introduced into the Roman Empire from January 1, 45 BC. NS. The year according to the Julian calendar begins on January 1, since it is on this day from 153 BC. NS. the consuls elected by the comitia took office. In 46 BC. Julius Caesar introduced the year count from January 1 and changed the number of days in some months. So, after the introduction of the Julian calendar, the average length of the year became 365,25 days: usually a year lasted 365 days, once every four years — 366 days.
In the Roman calendar, the four months of the year (March, May, July and October) consisted of 31 days, the rest of the months had 30 days. That is, there were 304 days in a year. In the XNUMXth century BC, the Romans reformed and added the eleventh and twelfth months: January, (from Latin Jānuārius) — in honor of the ancient Roman god of doors, roads and beginnings Janus, who was depicted with two faces, and February (from Lat. Februārius mēnsis — month of atonement), the name of which comes from the Roman festival of cleansing from sins februa, which was celebrated on February 15.

March (March) named after the ancient Roman god of war Mars.
April (April) — the name of the month comes from the Latin word aperire, which means to open, perhaps because the buds open in April. According to another version, the name of the month comes from the Latin word Aprilis, which comes from the Greek word Aphro, which is an abbreviation for the name Aphrodite. That is, April is named after the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite.
May (May) — got its name in honor of the Roman goddess of spring and the land of Maya.

June (June) — the month is named after the goddess Juno, who is the goddess of marriage bonds. To this day, some people believe and choose to get married in June.
July named after the ancient Roman general Julius Caesar, who was born this month. Initially, July was called quintilis (from Lat. Fifth), since it was the fifth in a row.
August originally called Sextilis (sixth), and then renamed in honor of the ancient Roman emperor Octavian Augustus.

The names of the following months come from Latin numerals:

September — from Latin septem (seven).
October — (October) is rooted octo (eight).
November (November)- novem (nine).
December — decem (ten) respectively. The suffix -ber in these names is an adjective suffix, therefore, literally months are translated as the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.

Month names in modern English

Month names are common vocabulary, which should not cause much difficulty in memorizing due to the partial similarity in the names of the months in English and Russian.

Raining season — rainy season.
Dry season — dry season.

3. Seasons other than autumn can also be named with the addition of the root time:

winter — wintertime.
spring — springtime.
summer — summertime.

These words are translated into Russian either in the same way as the original ones (spring, summer, winter), or: springtime, summertime, wintertime.

Autumn — Autumn or Fall?

Word case (autumn) used in USA, UK spoken and written autumn.

Fall is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (USA)
Autumn is my favorite season. — Autumn is my favorite season. (Br.)

It is noteworthy that the word case did not arise in America, but is just the original term for the season, which arose in England no later than the 16th century.

Therefore, although the word is used primarily in America, it is neither exclusively American, nor even a word of American origin.

Word autumncame to English from French fall in the 15th or 16th century, but only became common in the 18th century.

In Canada, as in the United States, they use mainly failed, and in Australia — autumn.

Different meanings of the word fall

Word case has two main meanings: 1) autumn, 2) fall. Because of this, a fall-fall pun is sometimes used.

Month names in English and Old English | Freedom of Speech Blog

It seems that 2015 has just come, and it’s already February. Before we have time to look back, December will come again, and with it the New Year’s bustle.

However, the Anglo-Saxons did not always use Latin names: before Latin borrowings they had their own Old English names.

January

Not a bad name for the first month of the year, isn’t it? Indeed, on the eve of the New Year, we always sum up the results of the outgoing year and make plans for the coming year.

February

The name «February» — February — comes from the Latin word «februa», which means «purification», because it was in February that the Romans held a festival of purification.

March

April

Some believe that the month was named after the Etruscan goddess Apriu.

The most widespread opinion is that the name of the month comes from the Latin word “aperire”, which means “to open”, because it is in April that the buds and buds of flowers begin to open.

In Old English, April was called “Easter-Monath” — the month in which Easter was usually celebrated.

May

May — May — named after the Roman goddess of growth Maya. She was the goddess of spring, because in spring everything grows, blooms, blooms.

The farmers were so busy with their farming in May that most likely there was a saying from there that you shouldn’t play weddings in May: “Marry in the month of May, and you’ll surely rue the day” — “Get married in May, and you will surely damn that day. ”

By the way, the Romans also believed that May was a bad time for weddings. Perhaps that is why we also have a proverb: «To marry in May is to suffer all your life.»

June

June — June — was named after the goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter, who was the Roman goddess of marriage and motherhood. Even to this day, some couples prefer to marry in June.

But the Anglo-Saxons called June “Sere-Monath”, i.e. «Dry month». As you can see, agricultural affairs are again in the first place with them.

July

July — July — is named after the great ancient Roman consul Julius Caesar. It was his birthday this month.

In Old English, July sounded like “Maed-Monath”, which meant “meadowmonth”, ie. “Month of the meadows” because in July the meadows are covered with flowers.

August

In Old English, August was called “Weod-Monath”, ie. “The month of weeds”, which means “month of the weeds”, although at the time “weed” meant vegetation in general.

September, October, November, December

“Holy month”, as in December the Nativity of Christ is celebrated.

But first, a few subtleties of the calendar vocabulary:

All 12 months in English are capitalized.
In abbreviated form, they look like this: three initial letters and a period: Jan., Feb., Jun. etc. May is written without a dot.
“Six months” translates as “6 months” (6 months in English). The phrase «half a year» (half a year) is much less common.
Instead of «Autumn» (autumn) used in the USA and Canada «Fall».
The date is also recorded differently in the UK and the US. Compare: 5 April 2016 (UK) and 5 April 2016 (US).

Here is the title of each month with translation and transcription:

Name of each month in English and how they came about. Some pronunciation features

January and February

These winter months sound very similar to similar Russian words, with some differences. Let’s say there is no “v” sound in the middle, as in Russian.

As already noted, months in English are capitalized. This is done because almost all of them are derived from proper names. Each of these words has its own history and is therefore unique.

January comes from the name of the god Janus, who was honored this month.
February comes from the word «Februa» — an ancient Roman rite of purification, which was held on February 15th.

March, April, May

Three spring months sound like Russians. Additional associations for one hundred percent memorization:

March named for Mars, the Roman god of war.
April — in honor of the goddess Aphrodite.
May — the month of Maya, the goddess of spring.

June, July, August

This is the summer 3 months in English.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to confuse «June» and «July» in Russian? In English, there is no such problem; in the words June and July, even the number of syllables is different.

June named after Juno — the goddess of marriage and female happiness.

September, October, November

December

Falls under the same principle as the fall months. According to the old calendar, it was the tenth month (decem — 10 in Latin).

«Month»: translation into English and pronunciation secrets

month [mʌnθ] — month

To learn how to pronounce the word «month» correctly in English, you need:

Pronounce the first three sounds [mʌn];
On the sound [n], place the tongue between the teeth, preparing to pronounce the sound [θ];
Make the sound [θ], the tongue remains between the teeth.

Now let’s complicate the task and say the word «months» (months).

It is important to pronounce not [mʌns], but [mʌnθs] — all five sounds. The difference between these options will be heard by a native speaker.

Say [mʌn];
Already at the sound [n], get ready for the next sound — the tongue goes to the teeth in advance;
Interdental [θ] — on it the tongue begins to return back into the oral cavity;
Move the tip of your tongue gently behind your upper teeth, without stopping the air flow, and make the sound [s].

Say all five sounds smoothly, one after the other, slowly, several times. When you feel some freedom, say a little faster:
Months. Months. Twelve months. three months. three summer months.

Etymology of month names

Etymology — a science that studies the origin of words, reconstructing the vocabulary of the most ancient period.

Word month (month) associated with * mænon — Moon, month.
Month names in English originate from the Julian calendar. The original Roman calendar had 10 months. The first month of the year was March.

Julian calendar — a calendar developed by a group of Alexandrian astronomers led by Sozigen. The calendar is named after Julius Caesar, by whose decree it was introduced into the Roman Empire from January 1, 45 BC. NS. The year according to the Julian calendar begins on January 1, since it is on this day from 153 BC. NS. the consuls elected by the comitia took office. In 46 BC. Julius Caesar introduced the year count from January 1 and changed the number of days in some months. So, after the introduction of the Julian calendar, the average length of the year became 365,25 days: usually a year lasted 365 days, once every four years — 366 days.
In the Roman calendar, the four months of the year (March, May, July and October) consisted of 31 days, the rest of the months had 30 days. That is, there were 304 days in a year. In the XNUMXth century BC, the Romans reformed and added the eleventh and twelfth months: January, (from Latin Jānuārius) — in honor of the ancient Roman god of doors, roads and beginnings Janus, who was depicted with two faces, and February (from Lat. Februārius mēnsis — month of atonement), the name of which comes from the Roman festival of cleansing from sins februa, which was celebrated on February 15.

March (March) named after the ancient Roman god of war Mars.
April (April) — the name of the month comes from the Latin word aperire, which means to open, perhaps because the buds open in April. According to another version, the name of the month comes from the Latin word Aprilis, which comes from the Greek word Aphro, which is an abbreviation for the name Aphrodite. That is, April is named after the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite.
May (May) — got its name in honor of the Roman goddess of spring and the land of Maya.

June (June) — the month is named after the goddess Juno, who is the goddess of marriage bonds. To this day, some people believe and choose to get married in June.
July named after the ancient Roman general Julius Caesar, who was born this month. Initially, July was called quintilis (from Lat. Fifth), since it was the fifth in a row.
August originally called Sextilis (sixth), and then renamed in honor of the ancient Roman emperor Octavian Augustus.

The names of the following months come from Latin numerals:

September — from Latin septem (seven).
October — (October) is rooted octo (eight).
November (November)- novem (nine).
December — decem (ten) respectively. The suffix -ber in these names is an adjective suffix, therefore, literally months are translated as the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.

Therefore, although the word is used primarily in America, it is neither exclusively American, nor even a word of American origin.

In Canada, as in the United States, they use mainly failed, and in Australia — autumn.

Different meanings of the word fall

The exception is March — March and May or May.

Other names are also very similar to ours.

In any case, both versions are correct. It depends on us which one we choose. However, let’s not apply this principle consistently.

What to insert before the month name — in or maybe on

Speaking about the fact that something happened in this month, write in before the title.I am moving to Cracow in December.I am moving to Krakow in December.
When we want to specify a specific date, we add the adverb on.We got married on August 8.We got married on August 8th.
The exception is situations in which the words next or last appear in front of the month name. Then we skip the preposition.I started painting last November.I started painting in November.

What to do to memorize months in English?

In addition to working with associations, we can use several other techniques to get months in English into our brains.

It’s worth setting up English on your phone. We often have a calendar displayed on the start screen. When we come across names every day, then they will become something natural for us.
The method by which the youngest remember all the names is to make a calendar with the children on their own. Play combined with learning. It’s a great idea to spend the day together.
Of course, don’t forget about the regular lessons with the Speakingo online English course. The sentences are based on useful words. During the course, you will not only be able to test your memory, but also practice your accent.

A good way to remember something is with jokes:

Months in English with humor:

Month names in English and Old English | Freedom of Speech Blog

It seems that 2015 has just come, and it’s already February. Before we have time to look back, December will come again, and with it the New Year’s bustle.

However, the Anglo-Saxons did not always use Latin names: before Latin borrowings they had their own Old English names.

January

Not a bad name for the first month of the year, isn’t it? Indeed, on the eve of the New Year, we always sum up the results of the outgoing year and make plans for the coming year.

February

The name «February» — February — comes from the Latin word «februa», which means «purification», because it was in February that the Romans held a festival of purification.

March

April

Some believe that the month was named after the Etruscan goddess Apriu.

The most widespread opinion is that the name of the month comes from the Latin word “aperire”, which means “to open”, because it is in April that the buds and buds of flowers begin to open.

In Old English, April was called “Easter-Monath” — the month in which Easter was usually celebrated.

May

May — May — named after the Roman goddess of growth Maya. She was the goddess of spring, because in spring everything grows, blooms, blooms.

The farmers were so busy with their farming in May that most likely there was a saying from there that you shouldn’t play weddings in May: “Marry in the month of May, and you’ll surely rue the day” — “Get married in May, and you will surely damn that day. ”

By the way, the Romans also believed that May was a bad time for weddings. Perhaps that is why we also have a proverb: «To marry in May is to suffer all your life.»

June

June — June — was named after the goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter, who was the Roman goddess of marriage and motherhood. Even to this day, some couples prefer to marry in June.

But the Anglo-Saxons called June “Sere-Monath”, i.e. «Dry month». As you can see, agricultural affairs are again in the first place with them.

July

July — July — is named after the great ancient Roman consul Julius Caesar. It was his birthday this month.

In Old English, July sounded like “Maed-Monath”, which meant “meadowmonth”, ie. “Month of the meadows” because in July the meadows are covered with flowers.

August

In Old English, August was called “Weod-Monath”, ie. “The month of weeds”, which means “month of the weeds”, although at the time “weed” meant vegetation in general.

September, October, November, December

“Holy month”, as in December the Nativity of Christ is celebrated.

But first, a few subtleties of the calendar vocabulary:

All 12 months in English are capitalized.
In abbreviated form, they look like this: three initial letters and a period: Jan., Feb., Jun. etc. May is written without a dot.
“Six months” translates as “6 months” (6 months in English). The phrase «half a year» (half a year) is much less common.
Instead of «Autumn» (autumn) used in the USA and Canada «Fall».
The date is also recorded differently in the UK and the US. Compare: 5 April 2016 (UK) and 5 April 2016 (US).

Here is the title of each month with translation and transcription:

Name of each month in English and how they came about. Some pronunciation features

January and February

These winter months sound very similar to similar Russian words, with some differences. Let’s say there is no “v” sound in the middle, as in Russian.

As already noted, months in English are capitalized. This is done because almost all of them are derived from proper names. Each of these words has its own history and is therefore unique.

January comes from the name of the god Janus, who was honored this month.
February comes from the word «Februa» — an ancient Roman rite of purification, which was held on February 15th.

March, April, May

Three spring months sound like Russians. Additional associations for one hundred percent memorization:

March named for Mars, the Roman god of war.
April — in honor of the goddess Aphrodite.
May — the month of Maya, the goddess of spring.

June, July, August

This is the summer 3 months in English.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to confuse «June» and «July» in Russian? In English, there is no such problem; in the words June and July, even the number of syllables is different.

June named after Juno — the goddess of marriage and female happiness.

September, October, November

December

Falls under the same principle as the fall months. According to the old calendar, it was the tenth month (decem — 10 in Latin).

«Month»: translation into English and pronunciation secrets

month [mʌnθ] — month

To learn how to pronounce the word «month» correctly in English, you need:

Pronounce the first three sounds [mʌn];
On the sound [n], place the tongue between the teeth, preparing to pronounce the sound [θ];
Make the sound [θ], the tongue remains between the teeth.

Now let’s complicate the task and say the word «months» (months).

It is important to pronounce not [mʌns], but [mʌnθs] — all five sounds. The difference between these options will be heard by a native speaker.

Say [mʌn];
Already at the sound [n], get ready for the next sound — the tongue goes to the teeth in advance;
Interdental [θ] — on it the tongue begins to return back into the oral cavity;
Move the tip of your tongue gently behind your upper teeth, without stopping the air flow, and make the sound [s].

Say all five sounds smoothly, one after the other, slowly, several times. When you feel some freedom, say a little faster:
Months. Months. Twelve months. three months. three summer months.

Уточнение по временам года и сезонам

1. Слово season может значить не только «время года» (лето, зима, весна, осень), но и «сезон» как часть года, подходящая для какой-нибудь деятельности, работы:

Spring is my favorite season. — Весна — мое любимое время года.
Tomorrow is the opening day of the duck hunting season. — Завтра открытие сезона охоты на уток.

2. В некоторых тропических странах, например, в Сингапуре, выделяют только два сезона (времени года):

Raining season — сезон дождей.
Dry season — сухой сезон.

3. Времена года, кроме осени, могут также называться с добавлением корня time:

winter — wintertime.
spring — springtime.
summer — summertime.

На русский язык эти слова переводятся либо так же, как исходные (весна, лето, зима), либо: весенняя пора, летняя пора, зимняя пора.

Осень — Autumn или Fall?

Cлово fall (осень) используется в США, в Великобритании говорят и пишут autumn.

Кстати, в разговоре о временах года, особенно если это школьное задание, часто используется словосочетание «любимое время года» — у него есть различия между американским и британским написанием: favourite season (Br.) — favorite season (USA).

Fall is my favorite season. — Осень — мое любимое время года. (USA)
Autumn is my favourite season. — Осень — мое любимое время года. (Br.)

Примечательно, что слово fall возникло не в Америке, а является как раз первоначальным термином для обозначения времени года, возникшим в Англии не позже 16 века. Изначально это было сокращением от fall of the year (падение года) или fall of the leaf (опадание листвы), но к 17 веку закрепилось как одно слово, задолго до развития американского варианта английского языка. Поэтому, несмотря на то, что слово используется преимущественно в Америке, оно не является ни исключительно американским, ни даже словом американского происхождения.

Слово autumn пришло в английский язык из французского automne в 15 или 16 веке, но стало употребительным только в 18 веке.

В Канаде, как и в США, используют преимущественно fall, а в Австралии — autumn.

Разные значения слова Fall

Слово fall имеет два основных значения: 1) осень, 2) падение. Из-за этого иногда используется игра слов с «осенью-падением».

Фото с http://www.imdb.com

К примеру в названии американского фильма «Легенды осени» (Legends of the Fall) некоторые зрители и критики увидели двузначность. С одной стороны название можно понять как «Легенды осени», с другой как «Легенды Падения», ведь в фильме рассказывается история с семьи с очень непростой судьбой.

Подобным образом рассматривается название компьютерной игры Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne — это может быть как «Падение Макса Пейна», так и «Осень Макса Пейна». Оба варианта хорошо подходят под сюжет и стилистику игры.
