💅 DateTime::Locale::yo_BJ(3)

okay so first things first, the actual page header says DateTime::Locale::yo_BJ(3) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, so that's the vibe we're working with. This is not a command, bestie, it's a pod file — a whole documentation flex full of locale data examples. Buckle up. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::yo_BJ — locale data examples for the Yoruba Benin (yo-BJ) locale. no cap, that's the whole name section. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Yoruba Benin locale.

That's it. That's the description. Everything below is just receipts: names of days, months, quarters, eras, and a lot of formatted date examples. Get comfy, we're going through all of them. 🫶

🌈 Days

Wide (format)

the long-form, main-character version of the week:

Ɔjɔ́ Ajé
Ɔjɔ́ Ìsɛgun
Ɔjɔrú
Ɔjɔbɔ
Ɔjɔ́ Ɛtì
Ɔjɔ́ Àbámɛta
Ɔjɔ́ Àìkú

Abbreviated (format)

same seven days, cropped for when you're low on space:

Ajé
Ìsɛgun
Ɔjɔrú
Ɔjɔbɔ
Ɛtì
Àbámɛta
Àìkú

Narrow (format)

one character each. absolute minimalism. iconique:

A
Ì
Ɔ
Ɔ
Ɛ
À
À

Wide (stand-alone)

the wide names again, but standing on their own, no format context needed:

Ajé
Ìsɛgun
Ɔjɔrú
Ɔjɔbɔ
Ɛtì
Àbámɛta
Àìkú

Abbreviated (stand-alone)

yes it's literally the same list as the abbreviated format one. it understood the assignment and did not change:

Ajé
Ìsɛgun
Ɔjɔrú
Ɔjɔbɔ
Ɛtì
Àbámɛta
Àìkú

Narrow (stand-alone)

and the narrow stand-alone is also identical to its format twin. consistency queen 🎀

A
Ì
Ɔ
Ɔ
Ɛ
À
À

🦋 Months

Wide (format)

twelve months, full glam:

Oshù Shɛrɛ́
Oshù Èrèlè
Oshù Ɛrɛnà
Oshù Ìgbé
Oshù Ɛbibi
Oshù Òkúdu
Oshù Agɛmɔ
Oshù Ògún
Oshù Owewe
Oshù Ɔwàrà
Oshù Bélú
Oshù Ɔpɛ̀

Abbreviated (format)

the abbreviated set is, and I cannot stress this enough, the exact same twelve strings. not me double-checking 😭

Oshù Shɛrɛ́
Oshù Èrèlè
Oshù Ɛrɛnà
Oshù Ìgbé
Oshù Ɛbibi
Oshù Òkúdu
Oshù Agɛmɔ
Oshù Ògún
Oshù Owewe
Oshù Ɔwàrà
Oshù Bélú
Oshù Ɔpɛ̀

Narrow (format)

single-letter month energy. watch the accents, they're load-bearing 💅

S
È
Ɛ
Ì
Ɛ̀
Ò
A
Ò
O
Ɔ̀
B
Ɔ̀

Wide (stand-alone)

wide months, but on their own:

Oshù Shɛrɛ́
Oshù Èrèlè
Oshù Ɛrɛnà
Oshù Ìgbé
Oshù Ɛbibi
Oshù Òkúdu
Oshù Agɛmɔ
Oshù Ògún
Oshù Owewe
Oshù Ɔwàrà
Oshù Bélú
Oshù Ɔpɛ̀

Abbreviated (stand-alone)

again: identical. this locale said "if it ain't broke" and left it 🌸

Oshù Shɛrɛ́
Oshù Èrèlè
Oshù Ɛrɛnà
Oshù Ìgbé
Oshù Ɛbibi
Oshù Òkúdu
Oshù Agɛmɔ
Oshù Ògún
Oshù Owewe
Oshù Ɔwàrà
Oshù Bélú
Oshù Ɔpɛ̀

Narrow (stand-alone)

and the narrow stand-alone matches the narrow format list character for character:

S
È
Ɛ
Ì
Ɛ̀
Ò
A
Ò
O
Ɔ̀
B
Ɔ̀

🧚 Quarters

Wide (format)

four quarters, wide and proud:

Ìdámɛrin kíní
Ìdámɛrin Kejì
Ìdámɛrin Kɛta
Ìdámɛrin Kɛrin

Abbreviated (format)

abbreviated version — spoiler, same strings:

Ìdámɛrin kíní
Ìdámɛrin Kejì
Ìdámɛrin Kɛta
Ìdámɛrin Kɛrin

Narrow (format)

tiny quarter names. note that the fourth one is Kɛin here — copy it exactly, don't "correct" it, iykyk:

kíní
Kejì
Kɛta
Kɛin

Wide (stand-alone)

Ìdámɛrin kíní
Ìdámɛrin Kejì
Ìdámɛrin Kɛta
Ìdámɛrin Kɛrin

Abbreviated (stand-alone)

Ìdámɛrin kíní
Ìdámɛrin Kejì
Ìdámɛrin Kɛta
Ìdámɛrin Kɛrin

Narrow (stand-alone)

and here the narrow stand-alone is literally just the digits. plot twist:

1
2
3
4

👑 Eras

Wide (format)

Saju Kristi
Lehin Kristi

Abbreviated (format)

BCE
AD

Narrow (format)

BCE
AD
heads up: the Eras section only gives you format variants — Wide, Abbreviated and Narrow. there's no stand-alone era list on this page, so don't go looking for one 🫶

Cool? Cool. Now the rest of the roster 💅

  • yMEd — the pattern is d/M/y, E, so it's day/month/year plus the weekday name. It's giving "full diary entry energy" ✨

         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Oshù Owewe -10
  • yMMMEd — pattern E, d MMM , y (yes, the space before that comma is literally part of it, don't come for me 😭). Weekday first, then the day, abbreviated month, year.

         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Àbámɛta, 15 Oshù Owewe , -10
  • yMMMM — pattern MMMM y. Full month name + year. The main character of date formats 👑

          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Oshù Ɔpɛ̀ 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Oshù Owewe -10
  • yMMMd — pattern d MMM y. Day, abbreviated month, year, zero weekday. Minimalist queen 🌸

⏰ Strftime Patterns

Okay so these are the old-school strftime-style ones — different flavor, same locale, iykyk:

  • %c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) — date time format
          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Ìsɛgun Oshù Èrèlè  5 18:30:30 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Ɛtì Oshù Ɔpɛ̀ 22 09:05:02 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Àbámɛta Oshù Owewe 15 04:44:23 -10

(yes there are two spaces in there before the 5 — that's %e, it pads, leave it alone 😌)

  • %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
