नवंबर (navambar)

noun The month of November in the Gregorian calendar, used exactly like its English counterpart in everyday Hindi.
Sense 1 : the month of November
noun, masculine
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: Hindi simply borrowed the English months wholesale, so नवंबर (navambar) sounds and functions almost exactly like 'November' -- you will hear it constantly in dates, weather talk, and school/office calendars right alongside the traditional Hindu calendar months like कार्तिक (kaartik), which is still used for festival dates around the same time of year.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes try to decline it like a native Hindi noun; in practice it behaves as an invariant loanword and only the following postposition changes, e.g. नवंबर में (navambar men, 'in November'), नवंबर तक (navambar tak, 'until November'). 2) Some learners guess the gender as feminine by analogy with तारीख (taariikh, 'date'); month names are treated as masculine, so एक नवंबर (ek navambar, 'the first of November') and pehla नवंबर (pahlaa navambar) take masculine agreement.
