Did you know?
- Although ноябрь is the eleventh month, it shares a root with the Latin word for 'nine'. This is because the Roman calendar originally started in March, making November the ninth month.
- In Russia, ноябрь is often associated with the phrase ноябрьская серость, meaning 'November grayness'. This describes the specific oppressive, colorless atmosphere of the late autumn sky.
- The Russian word ноябрь arrived in the language via Old Church Slavonic, meaning it was borrowed from Greek rather than directly from Latin.
