    Yep, in Dutch we’d say “het is 12 December 2023”. When talking about dates I also say “it’s the 12th of December 2023” in English, but that’s probably a bit weird for English speakers.

      As an American (California native, living in the Midwest for the last decade), it’s not that weird. I hear people using “December 12th” and “12th of December” with about equal frequency. Written, though, “December 12th” is more common, and if you’re just using the numbers, everyone will assume the month is first.
