How does it change in a sentence?
When referring to the date as a subject or object within a sentence, the date is preceded by the definite article el, as in el 22 de junio. Note that months in Spanish, such as junio, are not capitalized unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence. When reading the date aloud, the number 22 is pronounced as veintidós.
Did you know?
- If you were to write this date in a very formal or old-fashioned way in a Spanish letter, you might see it as a veintidós días del mes de junio, which translates to 'on twenty-two days of the month of June'.
- While junio comes from the Latin 'Iūnius', the month was originally named after 'Juno', the Roman queen of the gods and protector of marriage.
- While English speakers often use 'June 22nd' in speech, Spanish speakers do not use ordinal numbers like 'vigésimo segundo' for dates. They almost exclusively use the cardinal number veintidós.
