DateTim...:ebu_KE(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

ok so the header on this one literally reads DateTim...:ebu_KE(3) (they truncated it, tragic), but bestie, the real name is DateTime::Locale::ebu_KE — Locale data examples for the Embu Kenya (ebu-KE) locale. that's the whole vibe. 💅


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this pod file is literally just examples of the locale data available for the Embu Kenya locale. it's giving "show don't tell" — every list below is real data, so you can see exactly what each field looks like filled in. no cap, it's all examples, all the way down. ✨


Days 🦋

okay so days come in six flavours: format vs stand-alone, each in wide / abbreviated / narrow. and yes, for this locale, format and stand-alone are the exact same strings. we love consistency.

Time Formats ⏰

same four lengths. heads up though: Full and Long both slap a UTC on the end and look identical here, and Medium/Short drop the zone entirely. that's just what the data says, i'm not making the rules. 🫶

  • yMMMd (d MMM y) — and that's exactly where this half of the page cuts off mid-list, so the examples for this one are in part 2 🧚
bestie heads up: the pattern list is still going — part 2 picks up right here at yMMMd (d MMM y) and keeps rolling. don't close the tab. 💜

okay so, picking up the pattern tour right where we left off — no heading needed, just more timestamp glow-ups, bestie:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 5 Kai 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22 Igi 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15 Ken -10

🌸 yMd (d/M/y)

Same three iconic timestamps, now in day/month/year order:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 5/2/2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22/12/1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15/9/-10

💅 yQQQ (QQQ y)

Quarter energy, abbreviated edition:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = K1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = K4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = K3 -10

🎀 yQQQQ (QQQQ y)

Quarter energy but spelled all the way out — main character formatting:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Kuota ya mbere 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Kuota ya kana 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Kuota ya kathatu -10

🦋 yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y)

The week-count flex, with 'week' and 'of' showing up literally:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = week 37 of -10

🎀 Miscellaneous (quick vibe check) 🎀

  • Prefers 24 hour time? Yes — it's giving 24-hour clock, no cap.
  • Local first day of the week: 7 (Kiumia) — that's the local week-start day.
