"Grudzień to miesiąc zimy."

Translation: December is a month of winter.

[HaJaPe]

w Australii grudzień to miesiąc lata!!!

[Mumbzee]

Tak

[nilsniklas]

Could it also mean "December is a month in winter"?

[Carl6271]

I agree. Same problem for me

[alex_tv80]

Audio sais "zimne"

[Vengir]

It pronounces that word in a somewhat weird way, but it's definitely "zimy".

[gbaldacci1309]

Why is it "zimy"? I would expect it to remain in Nominative "zima" since no verb is used in this sentence. Please explain why it becomes "zimy" and what case it is. Many thanks.

[immery]

It is genitive, this construction (noun+noun in genitive), shows possession- so "winter" owns "month".

the same way you say książka Zosi= a book of Zosia/ Zosia's book

[MarkKulka]

Grudzień to tylko nieznacznie miesiąc zimy. Jest to prawie całkowicie miesiąc jesieni.

Shy "December is a winter's month" isn't accepted as a valid translation?

[Jellei]

I don't believe it works in English.
