Dates

Days of the week in Spanish are used for scheduling and describing routines; they are normally lowercase. To specify a day, you can use el before the day for single references or omit it for general statements.

Months in Spanish are also lowercase and are used to give more precise dates. To say a date, place the day number before the month, and use de to connect them.

Years in Spanish are said as numbers, and you typically state the full number for clarity. When mentioning a year, you can precede it with en if needed to situate an event in time.

To ask for a date in Spanish, use questions that include cuándo for time or qué día for a specific day. Phrases like ¿Cuándo es...? and ¿Qué día es...? are common in spoken and written Spanish.

To say a date, give the day number first, followed by the month, and optionally the year; use de to link them. For the first of the month, use primero instead of uno for naturalness.

Written dates in Spanish often follow the day/month/year order, and months are usually written in lowercase. This format appears in official documents, emails, and everyday notes across Spanish-speaking countries.

Dates require knowing days, months, and how to format and say them aloud. Practicing common questions and date expressions will make it easy to give and understand dates in Spanish.
