lipiec

Lipiec is July, named from lipa, the linden tree. In dates it takes the genitive form lipca: dnia czwartego lipca, on the fourth of July. The -ie- of lipiec disappears in lipca.

Lipca can be confused with czerwca, June, because both end in -ca, and with listopada or lutego when only the first letter is clear. Read the whole word before you settle on a month. The Roman numeral for July is VII.
