ngl that double dash in 15-09--10 is not a typo bestie, it's the negative year doing its thing 💀 keep it exactly like that.

and that's exactly where part one runs out of road bestie 🫶 the examples for yQQQQ are still coming — catch you in part 2 💖

…okay so picking up exactly where we left off, the rest of that quarter-pattern's example set shakes out like this:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 1e kwartaal 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 4e kwartaal 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 3e kwartaal -10

And now the year-week patterns, which — not them giving us two whole entries that produce literally identical output 😭 — are both 'week' w 'in' Y flavored:

• yw-count-one ('week' w 'in' Y)

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

• yw-count-other ('week' w 'in' Y)

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

Yes bestie, same three lines, twice. That's not me being lazy, that's genuinely what's in the file 💀

🫶 MISCELLANEOUS 🫶

The little vibe-check stats about this locale:

• Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes ✨ (no AM/PM chaos here, we're doing full 24-hour main character hours)
• Local first day of the week — 1 (maandag) 🌸 so like, Monday. Obviously. Monday is the first day, periodt.

---

🌈 STRFTIME PATTERNS 🌈

These are the strftime-style patterns this locale defines, with the exact date they'd spit out for each of the three sample timestamps:

• %c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) — date time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = di feb  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = vr dec 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = za sep 15 04:44:23 -10

• %x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

• %X (%H:%M:%S) — time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23

Heads up bestie: those %c outputs have a double space in them (di feb 5) and a -10 year that looks unhinged — that's just how it renders, don't @ me, I'm copying it exactly 🫶
