How do you write out the date in spanish?

Question

I'm in spanish 1 in high school and we learned at the begining of the year that instead of writing the date in month-day-year form, you write it in day-month-year form. So the date today in spanish would be 4-1-07, instead of 1-4-07 so..... In English you normally write the date out like January 1st, 2007. How would I write out the date in spanish? 1 January, 2007?

Sorry if this is a little confusing =P

Answer 1

EL ENERO Y CUATRO DE 2007

Answer 2

No, it is not. There is no rationale to write month, day and year. It makes more sense to begin with the smallest unit ( the day ) then the next smaller unit ( the month ) and finally the year.
Not only us do this. Also in Europe they do it that way. You are the only ones that do it in reverse.
We say: 1ero de enero 2007, or today: 4 de enero de 2007. Or briefly: 4 enero 2007.
I know of several cases where the difference has created a great confusion.
In my last year in the University, the Dean told us to write the month in words, not in numbers to avoid confusion

Answer 3

Writing the date in Spanish goes like this:

4 de enero de 2007, which literally translates into: 4 of January of 2007. Also, you might want to know that months are not capitalized in Spanish.

Answer 4

Yes you are right you would write in Spanish 1 de Enero 2007 which translates into 1st of January 2007. If you want to get even more correct you would write a small o after the one and underline it, this would mean "primero" which is the same as first, like in English you write 1st.

Answer 5

There are more options with the first day of the month:

January 1st, 2007 =
1º de enero de 2007, 1ero de enero de 2007, 1 de enero de 2007 or
1º de enero, 2007, 1ero de enero, 2007, 1 de enero, 2007

January 4, 2007=
4 de enero de 2007, 4 de enero, 2007

Answer 6

There are several ways to write dates you can try this ones:
Primero de Enero del 2007
01/01/2007
010107
Uno de Enero de 2007

PD. el español es muy rico puedes usarlo como sea además nosotros entendemos la fecha esté como esté escrita obvio que si escribes algo asi: 07/07/07 nadie va a entender que fecha es

aka. Spanish is a very rich language you can use it the way you want and besides we undertand the date no matter the way it is written but careful if yoy write somethin' like this 07/07/07 no one no matter the language will understand the date you ment!!!

Answer 7

The day, the month, the year. today's date: la fecha de hoy:

4-1-2007 /// el 4 de enero de dos mil siete

Often the month is expressed as a Roman numeral 4-I-2007

The day is always an Arabic numeral (1,2,3,4)
Months are usually Roman I,II,III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII.

Spanish does not normally capitalize the names of months, as does English.

The only ordinal number used for dates is el primero, meaning "the first" After that, cardinal numbers (dos, tres, cuatro) are used.

primero can be written 1º. In Spain, they say 'el uno'.


Most European countries follow this pattern, by the way.

Americans do dates bass-ackwards.

Answer 8

cuatro de enero del 2007

what helps me is by says cinco de mayo which helps me remember the order of how to say it.

Answer 9

today is 4/1, not 1/4 or cuatro de enero de dos mil siete
cuatro=four de=of enero=januaryde=of dos=two mil=thousand siete=seven

Answer 10

EL ENERO(MONTH) Y CUATRO (DAY) DE 2007(YEAR)
