This article is about date and time notation in Mongolia.
The date format follows the Mongolian language, which has been big-endian. Consequently, it agrees with year first, month next, and day last. Example: 2017-08-10. A leading zero is optional in practice (mostly not added). Cyrillic characters that mean year, month, and day are often used as separators too. Example: 2017 оны 8 сарын 10. Since the characters clearly label the date, the year may be abbreviated to two digits when this format is used.
In speech, the date is spoken in the same format as it is written. Using the example: пүрэв (pürev), 2017 (Khoyor myanga doloon) оны (ony) 8 (Naiman) сарын (saryn) 10 (Арван).
Ordinal Mongolian is a colloquial term used to express the day of the month instead of cardinal Mongolian. It is rarely used in formal writing. Using the example: пүрэв (pürev), 2017 (Khoyor myanga doloon) оны (ony) 8 (Naiman) сарын (saryn) 10 дахь (Arvan dakhi). Ordinal Mongolian is more often used when the month is understood from the context, i.e.: 10 дахь for the 10th.
Weeks are most often identified by the last day of the week, either the Friday in business (e.g., "08-11 дуусах долоо хоног") or the Sunday in most other use (e.g., "08-13 дуусах долоо хоног"). The first day of the week or the day of an event are referred to (e.g., "08-07 долоо хоног"). [1] The first day of the week is Sunday (e.g., "08-06 долоо хоног") are not often used, but only used in a few traditional calendars.
The 12-hour clock is often used in spoken language. The 24-hour notation is used in writing, with a colon as the standardised and recommended separator (02:04).
A calendar date is a reference to a particular day represented within a calendar system. The calendar date allows the specific day to be identified. The number of days between two dates may be calculated. For example, "25 April 2024" is ten days after "15 April 2024". The date of a particular event depends on the observed time zone. For example, the air attack on Pearl Harbor that began at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian time on 7 December 1941 took place at 3:18 a.m. Japan Standard Time, 8 December in Japan.
ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the worldwide exchange and communication of date and time-related data. It is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was first published in 1988, with updates in 1991, 2000, 2004, and 2019, and an amendment in 2022. The standard provides a well-defined, unambiguous method of representing calendar dates and times in worldwide communications, especially to avoid misinterpreting numeric dates and times when such data is transferred between countries with different conventions for writing numeric dates and times.
Different conventions exist around the world for date and time representation, both written and spoken.
Date and time notation in the United States differs from that used in nearly all other countries. It is inherited from one historical branch of conventions from the United Kingdom. American styles of notation have also influenced customs of date notation in Canada, creating confusion in international commerce.
In Finland, the usual way of writing dates in normal text is with the months spelled out. The format varies according to the language used. In Finnish, a full stop is placed after the day to indicate an ordinal: 31. toukokuuta 2002; furthermore, the month is in the partitive case, always marked by -ta. The month can also be written first, now in genitive case : toukokuun 31. pnä 2002. In Swedish, the full stop is not used and the month is in nominative : den 31 maj 2002.
Date and time notation in Sweden mostly follows the ISO 8601 standard: dates are generally written in the form YYYY-MM-DD. Although this format may be abbreviated in a number of ways, almost all Swedish date notations state the month between the year and the day. Months are not capitalised when written. The week number may also be used in writing and in speech. Times are generally written using 24-hour clock notation, with full stops as separators, although 12-hour clock notation is more frequently used in speech.
Date and time notation in the United Kingdom records the date using the day–month–year format. The ISO 8601 format (1999-12-31) is increasingly used for all-numeric dates. The time can be written using either the 24-hour clock (23:59) or the 12-hour clock (11:59 p.m.).
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and (CENELEC) adopted ISO 8601 with EN 28601, now EN ISO 8601. As a European Norm, CEN and CENELEC member states are obligated to adopt the standard as national standard without alterations as well.
ISO 8601 has been adopted as BIS IS 7900:2001.
Date and time notation in Japan has historically followed the Japanese calendar and the nengō system of counting years. At the beginning of the Meiji period, Japan switched to the Gregorian calendar on Wednesday, 1 January 1873, but for much domestic and regional government paperwork, the Japanese year is retained. Japanese people and businesses have also adopted various conventions in accordance with their use of kanji, the widespread use of passenger trains, and other aspects of daily life.
Date and time notation in Italy records the date using the day–month–year format. The time is written using the 24-hour clock (02:49); in spoken language and informal contexts the 12-hour clock is more commonly adopted, but without using "a.m." or "p.m." suffixes (2:49).
In Russia, dates are usually written in "day month year" (DMY) order. The 12-hour notation is often used in the spoken language, and the 24-hour notation is used in writing.
Croatia uses the day-month-year date notation and both the 24-hour and the 12-hour clock for expressing time of day.
Date and time notation in Vietnam describes methods of expressing date and time used in Vietnam.
