"I do not run in October."

Translation: Io non corro ad ottobre.

[Koolkaren]

Why is it 'di estate' or 'd'estate' but it can't be 'di ottobre'? Does it have a different meaning, or is it simply that you use 'di' for seaons and 'a' or 'ad' for names of months?

[gpriddy]

I have the same question.

[RogueNinja2]

Not sure how to properly explain this, but from what I can tell, di is used for the seasons but not the months.

[deactivated user]

Di is commonly used for routines

[Wisty0]

I agree. And is" ad ottobre" really used?

[mangoHero1]

Ad ottobre could be used because the vowels are next to each other. I believe its certain combinations of vowels that you would insert the d (ed or ad) and some you do not.

[Gio_Noir]

Can it also be ' in ottobre' or not??

[JosephOBrien]

It says that is correct. Idk if "in" and "ad" are interchangeable..?

[RuthBlake2]

I put non corro in ottobre and got it wrong so I assume 'in' is not acceptable...

[MarinaLoma3]

it was accepted in May of 2020

[brad745073]

In, nel, dei.... all mean "in" or "in the" but when are they used?

[Sandra287298]

why 'ad ottobre' and not 'in ottobre'. If in and ad are interchangeable shouldn't your answer be correct if you put 'in'?

[ivaSummer]

... And in the others months neither :))

Unless it's on Halloween and a scary man in a werewolf costume is after me. Then I activate my electric shoes . . . they help me to run faster.
