Date and time notation in Brazil

[3][4] In Brazil, dates follow the "day month year" order, using a slash as the separator.

Leading zeros may be omitted, specifically on the month, but never on the year field: 9/5/08.

For example, the above date might be very shortly spelled as "um do cinco de vinte e sete" (one of the five of twenty-seven).

Or informally as: dois do doze de mil, novecentos e sessenta e sete (two of the twelve of one thousand, nine hundred and sixty-seven).

Within a month, days are referred to as "no dia"+"ordinal number that corresponds to the date".

Let us suppose a test is set up for April 15 and hearers know what the month in question is.
