Year, month in Chinese



We have talked about numbers in Chinese. Based on the numbers, we have also learned weekdays by adding 星期(xīng qī ) in front. Now I would like to talk about how to describe Year(年nián ), Month(月yuè ) in Chinese.

Years (年nián ) are easy to say in Chinese. You simply need to pronounce the numbers. For example,

2007 is èr líng líng qī nián
2008 is èr líng líng bā nián
2000 is èr líng líng líng nián
1999 is yī jiǔ jiǔ jiǔ nián
1021 is yī líng èr yī nián


As long as you know the basic numbers from 1 to 12, it is easy to conjugate the 12 months in Chinese. In detail, they are :

一月 yī yuè
二月 èr yuè
三月 sān yuè
四月 sì yuè
五月 wǔ yuè
六月 liù yuè
七月 qī yuè
八月 bā yuè
九月 jiǔ yuè
十月 shí yuè
十一月 shí yī yuè
十二月 shí èr yuè
