Romanian Date in Words

04.06.2026 → patru iunie două mii douăzeci și șase

Spell out any date in Romanian, using a cardinal day (with întâi for the 1st), the month name, and the year in full words, all computed live in your browser.

Why does the 1st say întâi instead of unu?

Romanian uses the special ordinal întâi for the first day of the month. Every other day uses its ordinary cardinal number, so the 2nd is două and the 4th is patru.

Romanian dates are spoken with a cardinal number for the day, the month name, and the year written out in full. The one exception is the first of the month, which uses the special ordinal întâi. This tool turns any date into that correct Romanian wording.

How it works

The day uses feminine cardinal forms because it agrees with the implied noun zi, so 2 is două and 6 is șase. The 1st is replaced by întâi. The month comes from the standard list (iunie for June). The year is built as a masculine cardinal: hundreds such as două sute, the thousands group două mii, and the final tens-and-units joined with și, so 2026 becomes două mii douăzeci și șase.

Putting the pieces together, 04.06.2026 reads as patru iunie două mii douăzeci și șase, and 01.06.2026 reads as întâi iunie două mii douăzeci și șase.

Tips and example

Use the written form on formal letters, official documents, and cheques where a spelled-out date prevents tampering. Remember the și connector: it appears between tens and units (douăzeci și șase) and between hundreds and the final group, but not everywhere, which the tool handles for you. When the day is the 1st, always write întâi rather than unu — this is the single most common mistake when spelling Romanian dates by hand.
