Dates, Weekdays, Months, and Seasons ​

1. Days of the Week ​

nhar (day) is often used before a weekday, for example nhar it-Tnejn (on Monday). The definite article is commonly retained.

2. Months ​

f' is commonly used before a month: f'Mejju (in May), f'Ġunju (in June). Month names are written as regular nouns in sentences; they are capitalized uniformly here for lookup.

3. Seasons, Years, and Relative Dates ​

Common forms with seasons include fir-rebbiegħa (in spring), fis-sajf (in summer), fil-ħarifa (in autumn), and fix-xitwa (in winter). Years can be written numerically, for example fl-2026 (in 2026).

Last/This/Next Week, Month, and Year ​

li għadda means “that has just passed/last,” li jmiss can mean “next,” and d-dieħel is often used for a coming month or year. Interpret relative time expressions together with the tense and context.

4. Date Formats ​

Before weekdays, months, and seasons, prepositions often contract with the definite article. A common date order is “day + ta' + month + year,” for example 14 ta' Ottubru 2026 (14 October 2026). Use nhar to introduce a weekday, as in nhar it-Tnejn (on Monday). To avoid ambiguity between day/month conventions, write the month name in full in formal itineraries. Relative week, month, and year phrases are listed above.
