Why is the Greek day a feminine ordinal?

The day agrees with the implied feminine noun ημέρα (day), so the ordinal takes the feminine ending. The fourth is τέταρτη, the first πρώτη, the twenty-first εικοστή πρώτη, all ending in -η.

Why is the month in the genitive case?

The month answers 'of which month', so it is genitive. June, Ιούνιος, becomes Ιουνίου; May, Μάιος, becomes Μαΐου. Each month name has its own genitive form that the tool applies automatically.

How is the year written in Greek?

The year is a cardinal number: 2026 is δύο χιλιάδες είκοσι έξι (two thousand twenty six). Greek uses χίλια or χιλιάδες for thousands and joins number groups without a conjunction between them.

Why είκοσι έξι and not a single word?

Modern Greek writes compound numbers as separate words. Twenty-six is είκοσι έξι, and 2026 is δύο χιλιάδες είκοσι έξι, each group spelled as its own word rather than fused together.

Does it use Greek accents correctly?

Yes. The output carries the monotonic accents of modern Greek, so words like τέταρτη, Ιουνίου, χιλιάδες, and έξι appear with the correct tonos on the stressed syllable.

A Greek date written out in words is used in formal documents and in learning modern Greek. Greek grammar makes the day a feminine ordinal (agreeing with the implied ημέρα), the month a genitive, and the year a plain cardinal. This tool assembles all three with correct accents.

How it works

The Greek date phrase has three parts:

Day — a feminine ordinal ending in -η: πρώτη, τέταρτη, εικοστή πρώτη, up to τριακοστή πρώτη.
Month — the genitive month name: Ιανουαρίου, Φεβρουαρίου, Μαρτίου, Απριλίου, Μαΐου, Ιουνίου, Ιουλίου, Αυγούστου, Σεπτεμβρίου, Οκτωβρίου, Νοεμβρίου, Δεκεμβρίου.
Year — a cardinal number: δύο χιλιάδες είκοσι έξι for 2026, with χιλιάδες for thousands and no joining conjunction.

The number speller produces feminine ordinals for the day and cardinal words for the year, applying the monotonic accent system.

Example

04/06/2026 produces:

τέταρτη Ιουνίου δύο χιλιάδες είκοσι έξι

That is τέταρτη (fourth, feminine), Ιουνίου (of June), and δύο χιλιάδες είκοσι έξι (two thousand twenty six).

Notes

For 1000 Greek uses χίλια; for 2000 and above it uses the plural χιλιάδες after the multiplier, as in δύο χιλιάδες.
The day ordinals shown here are the feminine forms used with dates; the masculine and neuter forms differ in their endings.
