How do you spell the months of the year in Latin?

Answer 1

In the modern liturgical Latin of the Vatican, dates are written European style: day.month.year. In the ancient, classical Latin, dates are written according to the number of days from an important day, and according to the number of years after the founding of the city. For example, October 5th is written as "a.d.iii.non.oct.a.u.c." The phrase "a.d.iii." means "ante diem tritum," or "three days before the nones."* The phrase "a.u.c." means "anno urbis condita," or "year of the founding of the city (of Rome)."

Rome was founded in 753 B.C. That date therefore is the first year, or year 1. The ancient Romans did not include the concept of zero in their mathematical systems.

*Each Roman month only has names for three days: the kalends of the 1st day, the nones of the 9th, and the ides of the 15th. In the rest of the month, the days are given numbers according to how far away they are from the particular day. So after the kalends, the numbers count the number of days before the nones. After the nones, the countdown is to the ides. After the ides, the countdown is to the kalends of the next month.

Ianuarius ,i=January (ianuarius is similar to word for "door" , so january is door to new months or to new year

Aprilis, i= April

Maius, i= May

Iunius, i= June

*Augustus, i= August (Named for 1st emporer of rome, august, who was caesar's nephew)

September, -bris= September

October, -bris= October

November, -bris= November

December, -bris= December

*Septem= 7, Octo= 8, Novem=9, Decem= 10. used to be a year of ten months until months for caesar and augustus were added into the middle of the year

Answer 4

The names of the months are adjectives in Latin:

Januarius, -a, -um

Februarius, -a, -um

Martius, -a, -um

Aprilis, -is

Maius, -a, -um

Junius, -a, -um

Julius, -a, -um (formerly Quintilis, -is)

Augustus, -a, -um (formerly Sextilis, -is)

September, -bris

October, -bris

November, -bris

December, -bris

The masculine form could be used by itself or along with the word mensis "month", to refer to the month itself. When naming specific days, adjective agreed in gender and number with the day name. For example, the Ides of March was idus Martiae ("the March ides", feminine plural).

Answer 5

Translation: Como escribe la fecha en Español

Method: In order to write the date in Spanish long-form, you need the form: El X de Y del año Z -- where "X" is the cardinal number for the day (except for the "first" which is "primero" not "uno"), "Y" is the month, and "Z" is the year. For example, May 16, 2004 would be El dieciséis de mayo del año 2004. Of course, there is also the shortform, which is simply X Y Z. For example, 16 Mayo 2004.
