TELLING THE DATE





Common Ways to Say the Year in English

 

Dividing into Two Parts

Most years are pronounced by splitting the four digits into two groups: the first two digits and the last two digits.

 

1984: "nineteen eighty-four"

2017: "twenty seventeen"

1652: "sixteen fifty-two"

1066: "ten sixty-six"

 

Example:

The year 1984 is pronounced as nineteen eighty-four.

 

For Years of the 2000s

2000: "two thousand"

2001–2010: "two thousand and [number]" (e.g., two thousand and one)

2011 onwards: "twenty [number]" or "twenty [number]" (e.g., twenty twenty-three)

 

Examples:

2005: two thousand and five

2019: twenty nineteen

2023: twenty twenty-three

 

Years Ending in "00" Before 2000

 

1700: "seventeen hundred"

1800: "eighteen hundred"

1600: "sixteen hundred"

 

Example:

The year 1700 is pronounced as seventeen hundred.

Years Ending in a Zero + a Number (most common in older or formal contexts)

 

1901: "nineteen oh one"

1910: "nineteen ten"

1705: "seventeen oh five"

 

Note: The "oh" (pronounced as the letter 'O') is often used for years ending in single zeros.

 

Special Cases

Century References: When mentioning centuries, add "hundred" after the first part, e.g.,

1500: "fifteen hundred"

1800: "eighteen hundred"

 

Code-like Years: Sometimes, years are read digit by digit, especially in military or technical contexts, e.g., "one nine eight four" for 1984.

 

Summary

Most modern years (2000s): twenty + last two digits (e.g., twenty twenty-three).

Past years: nineteen + last two digits (e.g., nineteen eighty-four).

Before 2000: combining the two parts, often with "and" for years 2001–2010 (e.g., two thousand and one).

Older years: use "hundred" or say each digit separately.


Ask about someone's birthday

 

When is your birthday?

What’s your birthday?

Can I ask when your birthday is?

Do you mind if I ask when your birthday is?

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but when’s your birthday?

Would you mind sharing your birthday?

May I know your birthday?

Could you tell me your date of birth? (more formal)

Is today your birthday? (if you want to ask if the birthday is today)


EXAMPLES: 

My birthday is on June 10th.

(Mi cumpleaños es el 10 de junio.)

 

I was born on December 3rd.

(Nací el 3 de diciembre.)

 

My birthday is July 7th.
