Dates, birthdays and schedules

Give a birthday and combine a day with a time.

Remember

el primero de mayo · el dos de mayo

A common date pattern is day + de + month + de + year. For day 1, primero is especially common in the Americas; uno is also valid. Use el before a date for when something happens, and a for a clock time. Read 2026 as dos mil veintiséis.

Audio help

Voices are automatic: Orus reinforces masculine personal descriptions; Leda is used for feminine, neutral or ambiguous content. Explicit speaker metadata takes priority. Ordinary masculine nouns do not select a male voice. New recordings are prepared only on Play and saved for reuse. Both voices share the owner-approved monthly budget and 100 new recordings per browser profile per UTC day. Cached audio remains available when the budget is reached. If Google audio is unavailable, Spanish browser audio is labeled Browser Voice. If playback is blocked, use Tap to Play.
