I would say “[the] 4th of January 1970” in English. I think saying “January 4th” is an Americanism. It feels to me that in some sense 4th is acting as an adjective coming after the noun it modifies, which is unusual in English.
- lebuffon 5y agoInteresting that Americans commonly say "The fourth of July". Is that a carry over from 1700's American parlance?
