<\/a>There are so many great Polish sayings about different months that I decided to post a blog just about months and things associated with it every month. So today’s blog is about March.<\/p>\nThe word “March” (Marzec<\/strong>) comes from the Roman “Martius”. This was originally the first month of the Roman calendar and was named after Mars, the god of war (B\u00f3g wojny Mars<\/strong>).<\/p>\n March was the beginning of the calendar year. We changed to the “new style” in 1752, and it is only since then when the year began on January 1st.<\/p>\n In Poland weather gets nicer, you can see signs of spring sometimes, although nights are still pretty cold and a lot of times you can experience snow one day and sunny 70 degree weather the next.<\/p>\n March 21st is the official first day of spring!<\/p>\n Here are some popular Polish sayings about March:<\/p>\n W marcu jak w garncu.<\/strong> (in March as in a pot – means a little bit of everything)<\/p>\n Suchy marzec, mokry maj, b\u0119dzie \u017cytko jako gaj.<\/strong> (dry March, wet May will make rye grow beautiful)<\/p>\n Marzec odmienia wiatry, deszcz miesza z pogod\u0105, wi\u0119c nie dziw, je\u015bli starzy czuj\u0105 go ze szkod\u0105.<\/strong> (March\u00a0is changing\u00a0winds, mixes weather, so do not\u00a0be surprised\u00a0if older people don’t like it)<\/p>\n Czasem marzec tak si\u0119 podsadzi, \u017ce dwa ko\u017cuchy oblec nie zawadzi.<\/strong> (weather in March sometimes can be so cold, that it will not hurt to put two coats on – ko\u017cuch <\/strong>means\u00a0sheepskin coat)<\/p>\n \u0179le si\u0119 w marcu urodzi\u0107, bo trudno takiemu dogodzi\u0107.<\/strong> (It is bad to be born\u00a0in March, it is difficult\u00a0to accommodate\u00a0such)<\/p>\n Kiedy twa ma rodzi\u0107 rola, to w\u00f3\u017a w marcu gn\u00f3j na pola.<\/strong> (when your fields are ready for the yields,\u00a0\u00a0you need to get some\u00a0manure\u00a0on the fields in March)<\/p>\n S\u0142o\u0144ce marcowe, owocom niezdrowe.<\/strong> (Sun\u00a0in March, fruits\u00a0unhealthy)<\/p>\n \n Do nast<\/strong>\u0119pnego razu… <\/strong>(Till next time…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is so true!
