Subat

Subat refers to the month of February in various Turkic languages, including Turkish, Azerbaijani, and Uzbek. This month is the second month of the Gregorian calendar, following January and preceding March. In many regions where these languages are spoken, February is characterized by its typically cold winter weather. The length of February is unique, consisting of 28 days in a common year and 29 days in a leap year. This variation is a key feature of the Gregorian calendar, ensuring its alignment with the Earth's orbit around the sun. The name "Subat" itself is derived from the Latin word "Februarius," which is believed to originate from the Roman festival of purification called "Februa." Therefore, the term "subat" carries linguistic and historical connections to ancient traditions.
