maandag (Monday), dinsdag (Tuesday), woensdag (Wednesday), donderdag (Thursday), vrijdag (Friday), zaterdag (Saturday) and zondag (Sunday). Note two things English speakers forget: the Dutch week starts on Monday, not Sunday, and the day names are written in lower case — 'ik zie je op maandag', never 'Maandag'.
januari, februari, maart, april, mei, juni, juli, augustus, september, oktober, november, december. Most look reassuringly close to English, with a few spelling shifts: maart (March), mei (May) and oktober (October) with a k. Like the days, months are lower case in Dutch.
You give the day number as a plain number, then the month: '3 maart' is said drie maart (not 'third of March'). A full date like Monday 3 March 2026 becomes maandag 3 maart 2026, said maandag drie maart tweeduizendzesentwintig. Use the date tool above to hear any date read out.
Usually not when reading a date out loud — drie maart, not derde maart, is the everyday form. Ordinals (de derde) do appear in more formal or written contexts, and in fixed dates like Koningsdag. For daily use, the plain number is what you'll hear, which is exactly what this tool teaches.
