Why isn't it а не марта ?

[DK-Soeren]

I wish i knew. I thought Genitive of Negation forces genitive case but i guess I'm too stupid to learn Russian grammar =(

[bendespain]

"It is now February, not March," also not accepted, think it should be

[POCKOCMOC]

Why not "Now it's February, but not March."?

[Theron126]

Using "but" rather than "and" would imply that it could be both February and March at the same time.

[UntF12]

It really is february right now, does duolingo change this with the months, Or just a coincidence?

[Taurendil]

Сейчас март, а не февраль. Я злесь - so no, just a coincidence ^_^

[ShahriarAl]

wait so do you pronounce the L at the end of февраль?

[ballerina49]

yeah

[Rainbowrebellion]

Yes, L, not the default л sound which is similar to English "w" because the letter л was softened with the soft sign following it.

[vcontaa]

"It is right now February and not March" - anything wrong with that?

[HaroldWonh]

You don't need the word "right" - "now" is sufficient.

"It's February now, not march" is accepted 24.12.2017

[Juan_Villalba13]

Well, you are right. Today is February 28th, 2019 19:04. So, yes, it is still февраль.

[4Xwr5]

Уже март

[HamishGold]

It is incorrect English to start this sentence with "Now". Better would be "It is now February, not March"

[SecoraPearlRem]

This way of saying it in English implies that it is now February, no longer March, which is bizarre, as February precedes March.

A better way to say it in English would be "It is currently February, not March".
