सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Old New Year' is a unique cultural phenomenon where people celebrate the New Year according to the Julian calendar on January 14th. Victory Day (May 9th) is the most significant secular holiday, and the date is known by everyone. In Russia, the academic year always starts on September 1st, known as the 'Day of Knowledge'. When writing dates, Russians use dots (12.05.2023) rather than slashes (12/05/2023).
The 'V' Rule
Always remember that the 'г' in 'сегодня' is pronounced like a 'v'. If you say it with a 'g', you will sound like a beginner.
Gender Agreement
Don't say 'Какой дата'. 'Дата' is a girl (feminine), so she needs 'Какая'.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालYes, but adding 'сегодня' (today) makes it clearer that you are asking about the present moment.
It's a historical remnant of the genitive case ending '-ого/-его', which changed from 'g' to 'v' in pronunciation but not in spelling.
No, for information/data, Russians use the word 'данные'.
Say 'Сегодня...' followed by the neuter ordinal number and the month in genitive. e.g., 'Сегодня первое января'.
Not at all! Just add 'Извините' (Excuse me) or 'Подскажите, пожалуйста' (Tell me, please) to be polite.
Ask 'Какая вчера была дата?'
No, Russian omits 'is' in the present tense. 'Какая сегодня дата?' literally means 'Which today date?'.
Yes, most nouns ending in 'a' in Russian are feminine.
Yes, you can ask 'Какая дата нашей встречи?' (What is the date of our meeting?).
'Дата' is the calendar date (e.g., May 5th), while 'день' is the day (e.g., Monday or just 'a day').
