Английская Википедия:Date and time notation in Hungary
Date and time notation in Hungary has several conventions.
In the country of Hungary, individual days are usually expressed in year-month-day format, with numeric date elements typically followed by a period. For example, 1 August 1999 could be expressed as Шаблон:Lang-hu, Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang, or Шаблон:Lang Also, Mondays are the first day of the week.
Times of day are usually expressed as "hh Шаблон:Lang mm Шаблон:Lang" (where "hh" and "mm" are to be replaced with the actual day thereof), but hh.mm or hh:mm are also acceptable formats. The 24-hour clock can be used in both formal and informal use, but the 12-hour clock is used more in informal use. The Hungarian language has many words for periods in the day, including Шаблон:Lang (dawn or predawn), Шаблон:Lang (morning), Шаблон:Lang (before noon), Шаблон:Lang (noon), Шаблон:Lang (afternoon), Шаблон:Lang (evening), Шаблон:Lang (night), and Шаблон:Lang (midnight). These words can be said before the time.
Date
Full dates
In Hungary, date is traditionally expressed in big-endian form, like ISO 8601. Numeric date elements are followed by a dot. The format yyyy. month d. is commonly used, the name of the month can be abbreviated (standard are ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’, ‘Шаблон:Lang’[1]). Months can also be written using Roman or Arabic numerals.[2] Examples:
As year and day elements in Hungarian are ordinal numbers, they are followed by a dot. However, unless a suffix is added, they are said as cardinal numbers. Also note that stacking of symbols when writing in Hungarian is considered a bad practice, therefore when a suffix is attached to the date using a hyphen, the dot is omitted.
- Шаблон:Lang (on August 1, 1999)
Single years
A single year is followed by a dot unless it is
- followed with a suffix ‘Шаблон:Lang’ (in 1999)
- the object of the sentence ‘Шаблон:Lang’ (1999 was a nice year.)
- followed with a postposition ‘Шаблон:Lang’ (after 1999)
- a genitive ‘Шаблон:Lang’ (winter of 1999)
- in parentheses ‘Шаблон:Lang’ (the year of his/her birth (1999)…)
The dot can also be omitted in other cases such as memorials or book covers.
