Date::M...italian(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Date::Manip::Lang::italian — bestie, this is the Italian language support module for Date::Manip. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so real talk: this module is just a big ol' pile of words and expressions that back up the Italian language. It is not meant to be used directly — like, do not come for it, it's not the main character here. Other Date::Manip modules will load it as needed, and honestly that's the whole vibe. 🫶

This one holds two lists of words that can specify a standard (i.e. non-business) delta or a business delta. Two-for-one, we love to see it. 💅

💀 Ignored words

When you're writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words that are typically not important. 🙈 That's it, that's the section — no list, just the truth.

okay so bestie, there's frequently a word that pops up in a phrase just to flag that a time is about to be specified next. In English, that word is AT, like in:

December 3 at 12:00

The words you can use here are:

• alle

---

Then there's another word that designates one member of a set. In English you'd say IN or OF:

1st day OF December
1st day IN December

The words you can use for that are:

• della
• del
• di

And then there's yet another word for when something is on a certain date. In English that's ON:

ON July 5th

The word you can use for that is:

• di

Words that set the date, time, or both 🌈

So there are some words that can specify a date, a time, or both — all relative to now. Iconic, honestly.

The words that set the date are basically the Italian girlies for 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow'. They're specified as a delta that gets added to the current time to get a date. But the time is NOT set — so the delta is only partially used, and it should only include year, month, week, and day fields. periodt.

The words you can use:

• domani — +0:0:0:1:0:0:0
• dopodomani — +0:0:0:2:0:0:0
• ieri — -0:0:0:1:0:0:0
• l'altroieri — -0:0:0:2:0:0:0
• oggi — 0:0:0:0:0:0:0

Words that set only the time of day are the equivalent of English 'noon' or 'midnight'. The words you can use:

• mezzanotte — 00:00:00
• mezzogiorno — 12:00:00

And then there are words that set the entire time and date, relative to the current time and date. In English, 'now' is one of those.

The word you can use:

• adesso — 0:0:0:0:0:0:0

Hour/Minute/Second separators 🎀

When you're specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a colon (:) and it can be used for both separators. basic, we love her.

But some languages use different pairs. For example, French lets you write the time as 13h30:20, so it'd use these pairs:

: :
h :

Column one is the hour-minute separator and column two is the minute-second separator. Both of them are perl regular expressions. 🫶 And when you're creating a new translation, heads up: regular expressions with utf-8 characters may be tricky. For example, don't include the expression '[x]' where 'x' is a utf-8 character. noted, bestie.

A pair of colons is ALWAYS allowed for all languages. If a language allows extra pairs, they're listed right here:

Not defined in this language

Fractional second separator 🌸

When you're specifying fractional seconds, the most common way is a decimal point (.). Some languages might allow a different separator instead. If that's the case, it's a regular expression.

The decimal point is ALWAYS allowed for all languages. If a language allows another separator, it's listed right here:

Not defined in this language
