Italian Dates: How to Say Il 14 Gennaio (A1)
🔍 In short. Italian dates follow one simple pattern: definite article il + the day as a cardinal number + the month + the year. So January 14th is il 14 gennaio, May 27th is il 27 maggio, and ‘I was born on March 23, 1990’ is sono nato il 23 marzo 1990. There is only one exception: the first day of the month uses the ordinal primo instead of uno, so January 1st is il primo gennaio, never ‘l’uno gennaio’. The year is read as one long word: 2026 is duemilaventisei. To ask today’s date Italians often say Quanti ne abbiamo oggi? This A1 guide gives the format, the months, the ‘primo’ exception, how to read years, and how dates look on official documents like a birth certificate.
