Hi. could anyone tell me the correct format for the date in letters i.e. Nominative or Genitive? It would be in the format of : 05 November 2011 Thanks, vincent

genetive - 8 listopada 2011 - but most often we give dates numerically 2011-11-08

Thanks Gumishu And that would be on semi formal letters as well?

I would use the form with the month's name for less formal letter but it does not matter that much

gumishu: 2011-11-08 True but it's better to start with day, not year. Makes more sense in everyday situations.
