Questions & Answers about Crăciunul este în decembrie.
Why is it Crăciunul and not just Crăciun?
In Romanian, holidays and seasons usually take the definite article (the equivalent of "the" in English) when you are talking about them generally. Because of this, you use Crăciunul (literally "the Christmas") instead of just the base word Crăciun.
Why is decembrie written with a lowercase "d"?
Unlike in English, months of the year and days of the week are not capitalized in Romanian unless they are the very first word of a sentence.
Is în the standard preposition to use with months?
Yes! Just like in English, when you want to say something happens in a specific month, you use the preposition în right before the month.
