Tbh, I was kinda disappointed about this when learning Japanese. (Am from Europe where probably all languages have named months.) The days of the week had these fancy names but months were just "[number] month". If you name weekdays, why not name months?
I mean at least in japanese they used to have names but changed to the numbering system at one point.
You still see the old names pop up from time to time in literature and stuff. btw I found a reference https://blog.japanwondertravel.com/the-old-japanese-names-for-the-months-meanings-and-origins-21973
oh really? good to know!
While in German months have names, when talking about specific dates (getting a dentist appointment for instance) you often use numerals. Does the 15th of the fourth at 11 work for you?
Kannst du ein Beispiel auf Deutsch geben? Ich lerne Deutsch.
Heute haben wir den achtzehnte dritte.
