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''
