On the format of dates

(Braindump)

Basque dates have different formats. Mikel has to check a recent thesis at IXA group on the subject.

They also depend on whether numbers or letters are used for days and years.

Jim says: [year]eko [month]aren [day]a(n) seems to be the most common, and he guesses other postpositions are possible.

They are! Maiatzaren 10eko

Examples:

1926ko apirilaren 21a : 21 de abril de 1926

and

1926ko apirilaren 21an : el 21 de abril de 1926

So:

YYYYko MM(a)ren DD[

There is an alternative form:

Maiatzak 3, 2011 (uses ergative)
