"They do not cook in October."

Translation: W październiku oni nie gotują.

[jorgemslima]

Can someone explain why is October in the locative? I thought that it should be in the accusative, since w+time/date=accusative, or, since it is a negative sentence, in the genitive, but something essential might have flown right over my head.

1) negation does not affect case after preposition.

2) months and years are w+ locative.

Przepraszam, a kto im gotuje?

[Jellei]

Zamawiają z dostawą do domu ;)

What is wrong with:
One w pazdzierniku nie gotuja

[Jellei]

Nothing, I guess. Added.

Why is this "W październiku" instead of "We"? Another sentence in this lesson is "I go to school in September" and the translation begins "we wrześniu..."

[Jellei]

Yeah, but "w październiku" is easily pronouncable (well, at least to a native), while "w wrześniu" not really.

Generally, "w" changes into "we" if the word that follows starts with W/F + another consonant. Therefore: w Warszawie, but we Wrocławiu; w Finlandii, but we Francji.
