The Gregorian calendar is used in Lojbangug. There are two systems of naming months of the year, one based on numbers and one on signs of the zodiac, and two systems of naming days of the week, one based on numbers and one translated from Japanese or Korean. Some of the names have variants.

January pavma'i kanbyma'i February relma'i jaurbeima'i March cibma'i fipma'i April vonma'i lanma'i May mumyma'i bakma'i June xavma'i matsi'uma'i July zelma'i jukma'i, mlajukma'i August bivma'i cinfyma'i September sozma'i xlima'i October pavnonma'i ci'urma'i, laxma'i November pavypavma'i jukrskorpio masti, rebjukma'i December pavrelma'i celma'i

The days of the week are most often numbered. There are at least two systems in use for the days of the week. One starts from Sunday and one from Monday. Since this situation causes great confusion, the Lojbanistanis are working hard to rectify it.

Sunday nondei,zeldei soldei pamoi djedi Monday pavdei lurdei remoi djedi Tuesday reldei fagdei cimoi djedi Wednesday cibdei jaurdei vomoi djedi Thursday vondei mudydei mumoi djedi Friday mumdei jimdei xamoi djedi Saturday xavdei tedydei zemoi djedi

The place structure is:

• x1 is January autc. of year x2
• x1 is Sunday autc. of week x2

The format of a fully spelled-out date is:

• le djedi xamoi be le mlajukma'i be le panonomoi nanca be'o be'o noi jimdei
