Are all days in Spanish capitalized? I'm studying French also and I know they don't capitalize days or months.

Hi Elaine. Welcome to the forum.

Good question!

No, the days and months are not capitalized in Spanish.

Take a look at this article and you'll see more about capitalization.

I think the holidays are capitalized because they're really titles, not just dates. Otherwise, no.

So how about "el 25 de Mayo", el 5 de Mayo" and all those other wonderful things that are celebrated in May or whatever other month. I don't include my birthday in a week or two's time.

I was told and it is confirmed in the link that languages aren't either, so it's inglés, not Inglés.

You do not capitalize the days or months in Spanish.
