How do you remember the number of days in the months? 🤔

[scaredhamster]

In Thai, we have it built-in in the name of each month. Months ending with “kom” have 31 days while the ones ending with “yon” have 30 days. February is the only month ending differently with “pun” so we don’t need any other method for remembering and/or to waste time searching for it.

Simple i just wait until the month ends and say "oh i didn't know it was this short/long"

[Suhani]

Am 18, Indian, still doing this, never stopping

[clumsy._.girl]

As a Chinese, I can confirm I also do this when I was younger 😂

[LoGaIta]

International, I know it and I'm italian.
Anyhow, here there is also a really famous nursery rhyme.

[tiarun]

It's an international method for sure.
We all do it. It's easy and once you know it, it is very helpful.

As a German my dad also taught me this when I was very young :)

I just learnt a rhyme.
"There are 30 days in September,
April, June and November,
All the rest have 31—
—But not February, it's a different one!
It has 28 that's fine
And leap years make it 29."

In the UK, as a kid, I was taught this rhyme:
30 days hath September
April, June and November
All the rest have 31
Excepting Frebruary alone
Which has 28 days clear
And 29 in each leap year!
(very similar to a lot of the rhymes in the comments)

yesss, I'm Swedish and do it that same way! except I don't go back to the first knuckle when I reach July, I count that knuckle twice (it's both July and August) and then I go backwards from there

[rifashaikh]

As an Indian, I can relate to that 😂❤😂

my 3rd grade taught me this:
"30 days have September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except February alone. And that has 28 days clear and 29 in each new year."

[McgenshinKaedaharaKazuha]

Knuckles are a UK thing too. But we also say 30 days has September, April June and November, all the rest have 31 bar February 28 and 9

I actually always used a poem when I was younger (I still do) I've learned it in 3rd or 4th grade,
This is the poem:

There are 30 days in September
April, June and November
All the rest have 31
except February Which has 28
A leap year makes it 29

But yeah my mom also counts it with this knuckles technique but I thought the poem is useful so I like using it

In Canada, I've seen people at school use the knuckle method in the late 1970's but at some point in my own young life I learned a rhyme: "30 days has September, April, June and November. All the rest have 31 except February with 28 and 29 in leap years."

[YOURLOCALGABRIELA]

As someone from Romania, we we're taught this too:)

[hwa_mugung]

Same! That's how my mother taught me

[ishaalandzahabiashow]

I never got this knuckles thing 😭😭 and when I was in grade 2 or 3 (in 7 now) I was taught in a whole different and muchh easier way. I am actually really surprised people don't use this technique. The thing is the month's days are alternative. Like starting from January, January has 31 days, then we have February with 28/29 days. Then again March 31, April 30, May 31, June 30, July 31 and August is also 31 (these two are the only consecutive ones), September 30, October 31, November 30, and lastly December 31. (I know that December and January are also consecutive 31 days months but since a new year starts after December, it doesn't really count.

Im a Brit born Chinese. An Indian taught me to count knuckles.

“How do you guys remember which months have how many days?”
Me: Easy. I don’t
