Chinese Grammar: Structure of Dates
 
Dates in Chinese follow the order "year, month, day." This is in keeping with the "from big to small" trend which pervades many facets of Chinese culture.
 
Structure: x 年 + y 月 + z 日
So, April 1st, 2019 is 2019年4月1日 (èr-líng-yī-jiǔ nián Sìyuè yī rì).
 
Note that 号 (hào) is commonly used in spoken Mandarin instead of 日 (rì): x 年 + y 月 + z 号
 
The above example becomes: 2019年4月1号 (èr-líng-yī-jiǔ nián Sìyuè yī hào). In written Chinese, however, you will see 日 (rì) rather than 号 (hào).
 
Examples:
1868 年 1 月 18 号 (yī-bā-liù-bā nián Yīyuè shíbā hào) = January 18, 1868
1910 年 8 月 9 号 (yī-jiǔ-yī-líng nián Bāyuè jiǔ hào) = August 9, 1910
2001 年 7 月 20 日 (èr-líng-líng-yī nián Qīyuè èrshí rì) = July 20th, 2001
1 月 1 日 是 新年。 (yīyuè yī rì shì Xīnnián) = January 1st is New Year's Day.
12 月 24 日 是 平安夜。 (shí-èryuè èrshí-sì rì shì Píng'ān Yè) = December 24th is Christmas Eve.
10 月 1 号 我们 去 上海。 (shíyuè yī hào wǒmen qù Shànghǎi) = We will go to Shanghai on October 1st.
我 1990 年 7 月 出生。(wǒ Yī-jiǔ-jiǔ-líng nián Qīyuè chūshēng) = I was born in July 1990.
你 的 生日 是 11 月 11 号吗?(nǐ de shēngrì shì Shíyīyuè shíyī hào ma) = Is your birthday November 11th?
我 2006 年 4 月 17 号 认识 了 他。(wǒ èr-líng-líng-liù nián Sìyuè shíqī hào rènshi le tā) = I met him on April 17, 2006.
1980 年 9 月 4 号 我们 结婚 了。 (yī-jiǔ-bā-líng nián Jiǔyuè sì hào wǒmen jiéhūn le) = We got married on September 4th, 1980.
