I think the entire southern hemisphere might disagree with this statement...

    Wiosny is an adjective?

      No, it's the genitive form of wiosna.

        It's literally "a month OF spring".

        Does that mean something that has happened becomes genitive or just something that is connected with OF always goes in genitive? BTW thx for the reply.

          All (I think) instances of English 'of' are translated using Genitive. Sometimes a preposition and Genitive.

            Is "a spring month" not correct?
