Lesson #262 Birthdays


Je suis né le..... (zhuh swee nay leh) -I was born on...

Je suis né le six, septembre, mille neuf cents cinquante-deux
(zhuh swee nay leh seece sehp tahm bre meel newf sahnt sank kahnt doo)
I was born on September 6, 1952

mille neuf cents is nineteen hundred (or 1 thousand & 9 hundred). Just add the number from 1 -99 to get any year in the 1900s.

For those who were born in the 2000s use deux mille (for 2000) & then the number 1-8 for any year after 2000.
for example:
Je suis né le vingts-trois février, deux mille quatre
(zhuh swee nay leh vahn trois fay vree yay doo meel kah truh)
I was born February 23, 2004

The months:
janvier (zhan vee yay) -January, février (fay vree yay) -February, mars (mahr) -March
avril (ah vreel) -April, mai (my) -May, juin (zhoo ahn) -June juillet (zhwee ay) -July
août (oot) -August, septembre (sehp tahm bruh) -September
octobre (ahk toh bruh) -October novembre (noh vahm bruh) -November
décembre (day sahm bruh) -December

note- the months in french are not capitalized.
