Months: May Is Maj

Months: May is Maj

Name of the months. May is called maj in Polish.

While Polish has generally preserved the old slavonic names of months, names for March and May were taken from Latin. So May in Polish is simply maj.

The vegetation in maj is in its full blossom. Not only there are a lot of flowers, but there's an abundance of green. And here comes the words maić and its derivatives. This is rather literary language. Some people assume that the name of the month came from the word maić się, just like it happens with the other months (they take their names from the occurrences in nature or works that are done in this month). With May it is the other way around, the occurrences in nature took their names from the name of the month.

maić (verb) - to flower, to decorate with flowers and green branches (just like the nature is in May)

maić się (verb) - this is a reflexife verb, so it means something like "to decorate itself, to be in blossom without the help of any third party. You will find this kind of word in the description of nature and landscape. For example "Łąki się mają" - Meadows are in full blossom , "Wszystko się pięknie mai" - Everyting is growing and blossoming prettily.

umajony (adjective) - be decorated with flowers and green branches

the food situation on voyager is so fucking dire compared to every other star trek series like their chef is cooking for a bunch of alien species he’s never encountered before and has no idea what their palates are like so he’s just throwing shit at a wall and hoping it sticks, they can barely use the replicators, and they can’t even go over to the captain’s quarters for a nice homecooked crew meal because unlike every other starfleet captain she’s so bad at cooking she can burn replicated water. that’s the real horror of the show tbh
