Τον Ιανουάριο και τον Φεβρουάριο φοράμε συχνά μπότες, γιατί κάνει πολύ κρύο και βρέχει.

Because Greek often uses the accusative to mean during a month or time period.

So:

• τον Ιανουάριο = in January / during January
• τον Φεβρουάριο = in February / during February

The article τον is the masculine accusative singular form of ο.

This is very common with months:

• Τον Μάρτιο
• Τον Απρίλιο
• Τον Δεκέμβριο

In English we use a preposition like in, but in Greek the accusative article + month often does that job.

In Greek, it is very normal to repeat the article before each noun in a list:

• τον Ιανουάριο και τον Φεβρουάριο

This sounds natural and standard. Greek often repeats the article more than English does.

You may see article repetition in many similar phrases:

• ο πατέρας και η μητέρα
• τον Μάιο και τον Ιούνιο

So this is not unusual at all.

Φοράμε means we wear and is the 1st person plural present tense form.

It comes from the verb φοράω / φορώ = to wear.

So:

• φοράω / φορώ = I wear
• φοράς = you wear
• φοράει / φορά = he/she/it wears
• φοράμε = we wear
• φοράτε = you (plural) wear
• φοράνε / φορούν = they wear

Greek often leaves out the subject pronoun, so φοράμε by itself already means we wear. You do not need εμείς unless you want emphasis.

Because Greek usually drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The verb ending already tells you the subject:

• φοράμε = we wear

So Greek speakers normally say:

• Φοράμε συχνά μπότες

rather than:

• Εμείς φοράμε συχνά μπότες

Adding εμείς would sound more emphatic, something like we wear boots.

Because Greek, like English, often leaves out the article when speaking generally about a plural noun.

So:

• φοράμε συχνά μπότες = we often wear boots

This means boots in general, not a specific pair.

If you said:

• φοράμε συχνά τις μπότες

that would usually suggest the boots, meaning some specific boots already known from context.

Συχνά means often, and its position is quite natural here.

• φοράμε συχνά μπότες

Greek word order is more flexible than English word order, but this placement is very common and neutral.

You may also hear:

• Συχνά φοράμε μπότες

which puts slightly more focus on often.

So the sentence order is natural, but not the only possible one.

Yes, this is an important Greek weather expression.

κάνει κρύο is the normal way to say:

• it is cold
• the weather is cold

Literally, it uses κάνει = it does / it makes, but you should learn κάνει κρύο as a fixed expression.

Other similar examples:

• κάνει ζέστη = it is hot
• κάνει ψύχρα = it is chilly
• κάνει καλό καιρό = the weather is good

So even if it feels strange from English, this is standard Greek.

Here πολύ is functioning like an adverb meaning very.

• πολύ κρύο = very cold

In this expression, κρύο is part of the fixed phrase κάνει κρύο, and πολύ intensifies it.

Compare:

• κάνει κρύο = it is cold
• κάνει πολύ κρύο = it is very cold

So you can think of πολύ here as the normal word for very.

Correct: Greek does not normally use a subject like English it in weather expressions.

So:

• βρέχει = it is raining / it rains

There is no separate word for it here.

This is similar to other Greek weather verbs and expressions:

• χιονίζει = it is snowing
• φυσάει = it is windy / the wind is blowing

English needs a dummy subject it, but Greek usually does not.

Γιατί means because here and introduces the reason:

• φοράμε συχνά μπότες, γιατί κάνει πολύ κρύο και βρέχει
• we often wear boots, because it is very cold and it rains

Be careful: γιατί can also mean why? in a question.

So:

• Γιατί φοράμε μπότες; = Why do we wear boots?
• Φοράμε μπότες, γιατί βρέχει. = We wear boots because it rains.

The meaning depends on whether it is a question or a statement.

Because γιατί introduces a subordinate clause giving the reason.

The comma separates the main idea from the explanation:

• main clause: Τον Ιανουάριο και τον Φεβρουάριο φοράμε συχνά μπότες
• reason clause: γιατί κάνει πολύ κρύο και βρέχει

This is very common in Greek punctuation.

In Modern Greek, the names of months are normally capitalized, just like in English:

• Ιανουάριος
• Φεβρουάριος

So Ιανουάριο and Φεβρουάριο keep that capital letter even though they are in a different case.

They are in the accusative singular.

The dictionary form is nominative:

• ο Ιανουάριος
• ο Φεβρουάριος

But after τον in this time expression, they become accusative:

• τον Ιανουάριο
• τον Φεβρουάριο

So the ending changes from -ος to -ο, which is very common for masculine nouns and adjectives in Greek.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Greek present tense often covers both:

• it rains
• it is raining

In this sentence, because it talks about typical winter conditions in January and February, English will often translate it as something like:

• because it is very cold and it rains a lot / and it is raining

The exact English choice depends on context, but the Greek form βρέχει is perfectly normal here.
