What month names does it use?

It uses the standard Malay month names: Januari, Februari, Mac, April, Mei, Jun, Julai, Ogos, September, Oktober, November and Disember. Note that Mac (March) and Ogos (August) are spelled differently from their English equivalents.

Does Malay use ordinal suffixes for the day?

No. Everyday Malay date prose uses the plain cardinal day number with no ordinal suffix — you write 11 Jun 2026, not 11th. The tool follows this convention by default and offers an option to spell the day out as a word.

How is the weekday determined?

The weekday is computed from the calendar date and shown using Malay day names: Ahad, Isnin, Selasa, Rabu, Khamis, Jumaat and Sabtu. The date is interpreted in UTC so the weekday never shifts due to your timezone.

What does the spell-the-day option do?

When enabled, the day-of-month is written as a Malay word — for example 11 becomes sebelas and 21 becomes dua puluh satu — instead of a digit. This is useful for very formal documents.

Is the date sent to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with bundled Malay month and weekday tables. The date you pick never leaves your device.

Dates written out in Bahasa Melayu

A Malay date is built from a weekday name, the day number, a month name and the year — for example Khamis, 11 Jun 2026. This tool assembles that prose for any Gregorian date, using the correct Malay month and weekday names so you never have to guess whether March is Mac or Mei.

How it works

The tool parses the date you pick, validates it as a real calendar date (rejecting impossible dates like 31 February), and computes the weekday from the day-of-week of the date in UTC.

Weekday names come from a fixed table: Ahad (Sunday) through Sabtu (Saturday).
Month names use the standard Malay set, where Mac is March and Ogos is August.
The day number is shown as a cardinal numeral by default, because Malay prose does not use ordinal suffixes. An option spells the day out as a Malay word (e.g. sebelas for 11).

The pieces are joined in the order weekday, day, month, year.

Tips and example

For example, 11 June 2026 renders as Khamis, 11 Jun 2026, and with the spell-the-day option on it becomes Khamis, sebelas Jun 2026. Because the date is interpreted in UTC, the weekday is stable regardless of where you are. If you also need the amount or a number spelled out in Malay, use the companion Malay Number to Words tool.
