Forever_Lost asked:
I’m in spanish 1 in high school and we learned at the begining of the year that instead of writing the date in month-day-year form, you write it in day-month-year form. So the date today in spanish would be 4-1-07, instead of 1-4-07 so….. In English you normally write the date out like January 1st, 2007. How would I write out the date in spanish? 1 January, 2007?

Yes you are right you would write in Spanish 1 de Enero 2007 which translates into 1st of January 2007. If you want to get even more correct you would write a small o after the one and underline it, this would mean “primero” which is the same as first, like in English you write 1st.

EL ENERO Y CUATRO DE 2007
Learn Spanish Languages
The day, the month, the year. today’s date: la fecha de hoy:
4-1-2007 /// el 4 de enero de dos mil siete
Often the month is expressed as a Roman numeral 4-I-2007
The day is always an Arabic numeral (1,2,3,4)
Months are usually Roman I,II,III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII.
Spanish does not normally capitalize the names of months, as does English.
The only ordinal number used for dates is el primero, meaning “the first” After that, cardinal numbers (dos, tres, cuatro) are used.
primero can be written 1º. In Spain, they say ‘el uno’.
Most European countries follow this pattern, by the way.
Americans do dates bass-ackwards.

No, it is not. There is no rationale to write month, day and year. It makes more sense to begin with the smallest unit ( the day ) then the next smaller unit ( the month ) and finally the year.
Not only us do this. Also in Europe they do it that way. You are the only ones that do it in reverse.
We say: 1ero de enero 2007, or today: 4 de enero de 2007. Or briefly: 4 enero 2007.
I know of several cases where the difference has created a great confusion.
In my last year in the University, the Dean told us to write the month in words, not in numbers to avoid confusion
