Notes on how to talk about dates, times, and timekeeping in Toaq. | |||
( | == Dates == | ||
The "spoken word" way of referring to dates is something like {{d|gúheıshıchaq po néıjue}} "the 21rd day of (the) September". | |||
To specify the year you can add {{t|po nị́aqgukoamgujo}} "of the year 2024", which can be written {{d|nị́aq2024}}. As in Chinese, years are simply read digit-by-digit, without {{t|bıq fue heı}}. | |||
To say this more "mechanically" there's {{d|jị́qchaq 21 9 2024}}, where the numbers should be pronounced digit-by-digit as {{t|jị́qchaq gushı neı gukoamgujo}}. | |||
When writing a date numerically, the preferred format is {{t|2024-09-21}}. Such a date can be "read out" (reading backwards!) using {{t|jị́qchaq}}. | |||
=== Alternative month names === | |||
There is a "colorful" set of alliterative month names that may be used instead of the numeric names: | |||

Toaqgua uses 24-hour time. A time like "2:45 p.m." can be referred to as {{t|dạ́qhora 14 45}}. | |||
