> You don't say "25th Apartment", you say "Apartment 25",
We say 25th March in German.
Saying the whole date follows the importance: day, month, year: fünfundzwanzigster märz zweitausenddreiundzwanzig.
The English equivalent for 1125 would be onethousand-onehundred-five-and-twenty.
What I’m impressed with is the duration of time it takes to say todays date in Germany. I guess it’s rather “German-friendly” though. ;-)
It looks scary too btw. Had to double-check it too because you rarely write it as words in German (I'm not German too).
Many traditions have their quirks. But at least very few German-speakers will try to defend this format.
Interestingly, I've rarely seen it being an issue with dates. Maybe because the amount is too small and people got used to it.
