Questions & Answers about Het is vaak warm in mei en juni.
Why aren't mei and juni capitalized?
In Dutch, months of the year, days of the week, and seasons are written with lowercase letters unless they start a sentence.
Do you use the same preposition as English for months?
Yes! Just like in English, you use the preposition in to say something happens in a specific month, like in mei or in juni.
How do you pronounce juni?
The letter j in Dutch is pronounced like the English "y", and the i at the end sounds like a long "ee". So, juni sounds like "yu-nee".
Is het is always used for weather, like "it is" in English?
Yes, Dutch uses the subject het (it) with the verb zijn (to be) to talk about the weather, exactly how we do in English.
