Structure of Dates
日期表达
How it works
Chinese dates usually go from big to small: year, month, day.
Basic order: Year + Month + Day
Example sentences
今天是二零二六年三月二十九日。
Today is March 29, 2026.
我的生日是五月五日。
My birthday is May 5th.
我们六月一日放假。
We have a holiday on June 1st.
Usage note
In spoken Chinese, 号 (hào) is often used instead of 日 (rì) for the day of the month.
Example
五月五号 (Wǔ yuè wǔ hào)
