Officially, because "new" does not literally modify the year. Only in cases like "Julian year" the adjective would be placed after the noun. Unofficially, because that's simply the way Polish does it. Sometimes you know how a language solves a problem without really know why exactly. The word for Christmas is, actually: "Dziewyna Nacitac". In a formula like the sentence above, "Nacitac" is enough. It was my mistake, however, not to use a capital. > Also, what is wesollej? Looks > like wassail. It isn't, is it!? :) "Wesó£" is straighty borrowed from Polish. Before I coined the word, I saw that the Romanian word is "vesel", so I thought, if Romanian can do that trick, why not Wenedyk? What is a wassail?
