Hello,

In the grammar chapter in some sentences ri is used and in others riqi is used. What is the difference?

Thanks a lot

Yours faithfully,

Sally 你好,
日期 rìqī is the word for "date". For instance 今天的日期是什么? What is the date today?
日 rì is used in the date to express the day of the month. For instance: Today is Apr 27th: 今天是四月二十七日。
日 rì is also composed with 星期 (week) to form the word "sunday": 星期日, which can also be written 星期天。
Best regards,
天翔
