Structure of dates

Nível: HSK 1 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Dates in Chinese follow the order "year, month, day." This is in keeping with the "from big to small" trend which pervades many facets of Chinese culture. Dates are arranged from largest unit to smallest: year, month, day. x 年 + y 月 + z 日 So April 1st, 2019 is 2019年4月1日 (èr-líng-yī-jiǔ nián Sìyuè yī rì). Note that 号 (hào) is commonly used in spoken Mandarin instead of 日 (rì): x 年 + y 月 + z 号 The above example becomes: 2019年4月1号 (èr-líng-yī-jiǔ nián Sìyuè yī hào). In written Chinese, however, you will see 日 (rì) rather than 号 (hào).
