Writing the Date

How to write the date in Dutch?

The standard numeric date format in Dutch, like in most of Europe, is:

[day]   [month]   [year]

This means a Dutch speaker would write "Tuesday, March 12, 2019" as "dinsdag 12 maart 2019".

If you wanted to abbreviate it, you could write "di. 12 mrt. 2019", and in numerical format, that would be "12-03-2019" (or, with slashes, "12/03/2019").
