New concept
Days, months and seasons
| Days | Months | Seasons |

| Montag · Dienstag · Mittwoch | Januar · Februar · März · April | der Frühling — spring |

They're all masculine, and the little word in front tells you which kind of time you mean:
- am for days and parts of the day: am Montag, am Wochenende, am Abend.
- im for months and seasons: im Juli, im Sommer.
- um for clock times: um neun Uhr.
- Add -s for a habit: montags — on Mondays, abends — in the evenings.
In parts of northern and eastern Germany, Berlin included, you'll also hear Sonnabend for Saturday. And in Austria, January is Jänner.
