Months of the year Restarting with months of the year from last lesson
жилийн сар -> Months of year
Month you can translate as сар that means both month and moon, this is the same also in Chinese and Japanese
Year -> Жил (jil) • жилийн -> again you can see the English genitive in place
Нэгдүгээр сар -> January where we can recognise нэг that means one
Нэгдүгээр -> means first
This means that as in other asian language, January is simply the first month
Хоёрдугаар сар -> February where we can recognise
Хоёрдугаар -> means second where we can recognise Хоёр that means two
гуравдугаар сар -> March
гуравдугаар -> means third, where гурав means 3 as we have seen in the previous lessons
дөрөвдүгээр сар means April, with the same structure of the other months, what is interesting is that April fools day is translated as Тэнэгүүдийн өдөр where өдөр as we know means day and Тэнэгүүдийн means fools, as you can see no reference to the month.
Тавдугаар сар means May
зургадүгаар сар -> June
долдугаар сар -> July
Наймдугаар сар -> August
Есдүгээр сар -> September
Аравдугаар сар -> October
