Questions & Answers about W grudniu kupujemy prezenty i pieczemy ciastka z cynamonem.

Why is it w grudniu, not w grudzień?

Because after the preposition w meaning in, Polish uses the locative case for months.

The basic form is grudzień = December.
After w, it changes to grudniu:

• grudzień → w grudniu

So w grudniu means in December.

This is very common with months:

• w styczniu = in January
• w lutym = in February
• w maju = in May

So the learner should think: w + month = locative form.

What exactly does w mean here?

Here w means in.

So:

• w grudniu = in December

Be careful, because w can also mean inside / at / in, depending on context. But with months, it is usually just in.

Why is there no word for we, like my?
