===Day===
===Il dagu (the day)===
The day (''il dagu'') consists of 24 hours (''vintafidvor horae''), being separeted in parts:
The day (''il dagu'') is naturally made up of twenty-four hours (''vintafidvor ore''), which is separated in eight irregular times of day.
* 00:00 – 06:20: the dawn (''l’alba'')
* 06:20 – 13:00: the morning (''il maurginu'')

===Months of the Year===
In general speech, only ''la maurgna'', ''il dagu'' and ''la sera'' are used for greetings, and ''il nattu'' is used as a farewell:
The month (''il mese'') consists of approximately 4 weeks (''fidvor vicae''). A year (''aino giar'') has 12 months (''tvelefe mesi''), each with its own name:
* Buona maurgna!
* January: ''gennaiu'', it has 31 days (''trinta·ainu dagi'')
* Buono dago!
* February: ''febbraiu'', it has 28 days (''vinta·ahtau dagi'')
* Buona sera!
* March: ''marzu'', it has 31 days (''trinta·ainu dagi'')
* Buono natto!
* April: ''aprile'', it has 30 days (''trinta dagi'')
* May: ''maggiu'', it has 31 days (''trinta·ainu dagi'')
* June: ''giugnu'', it has 30 days (''trinta dagi'')
* July: ''giugliu'', it has 31 days (''trinta·ainu dagi'')
* August: ''agostu'', it has 31 days (''trinta·ainu dagi'')
* September: ''settembre'', it has 30 days (''trinta dagi'')
* October: ''ottobre'', it has 31 days (''trinta·ainu dagi'')
* November: ''novembre'', it has 30 days (''trinta dagi'')
* December: ''dicembre'', it has 31 days (''trinta·ainu dagi'')


===Season===
In high register language, ''l’orronu'' and ''il pommeriggiu'' are also included:
The year (''ata giar'') also has 4 seasons (''fidvor stagioni''), each has its own name:
* Buonorrono! (univerbation)
* Spring: ''la fromavera'', lasting from ''marzu'' to ''maggiu''
* Buono pommeriggio!
* Summer: ''il somar'', lasting from ''giugnu'' to ''agostu''
* Autumn: ''il aütomnu'', lasting from ''settembre'' to ''novembre''
* Winter: ''il ventru'', lasting from ''dicembre'' to ''febbraiu''


====Equinoxes-Solstices====
====I cebi (the meals)====
* Spring equinox: ''aeqinozzio di fromavera''
Within the Luthic culture, there are four main meal courses. The Luthic meal structure is typical of the [[w:Mediterranean_basin|European Mediterranean]] region. However, unlike the [[w:Italian meal structure|Italian meal structure]], the breakfast is never skipped, but it can be a bit lighter than the usual. Especially on weekends, the meals are often seen as a time to spend with family and friends, thus, weekend meals tend to be longer than elsewhere. The meals play an important role in time measurement and perception.
* Summer solstice: ''solstizio di somari''
* Autumn equinox: ''aeqinozzio di aütomna''
* Winter solstice: ''solstizio di ventra''


==Relative time==
=====Atha prangio (the breakfast)=====
''Atha prangio'' “the breakfast” is the first meal of a day, often eaten during ''l’orronu'' before undertaking the day’s work. The Luths have a sweet focus for breakfast, such as pastries and biscuits, together with black coffee, an [[w:Espresso|''espresso'']], and usually a fresh seasonal fruit. The ''espresso'' may be displaced by [[w:Cappuccino|''cappuccino'']] or yogurt. For this occasion, the high register greeting ''buonorrono'' is used.
 
=====Il mate (the lunch)=====
''Il mate'' “the lunch” is the second meal of a day, considered the most important, often eaten during ''il mezzodagu''. The full version is composed of four courses:
 
* ''Il fromu'' “the first”, usually a dish based on pasta, risotto, rice, polenta, legumes or soup;
* ''L’Anþar'' “the second”, based on meat, fish, dairy products such as cheese or eggs;
* ''Il þrigiane'' “the third”, which is a side dish based on salad, raw or cooked vegetables, and always accompanies ''l’anþar''.
* ''Aena frutta'' “a fruit” (any seasonal fruit) as the conclusion. Sometimes called ''la frutta''.
 
It is important to note that ''il mate'' is always served with a bread, usually a ''baghette'' ([[w:Baguette|baguette]]).
 
=====La merenda (the afternoon tea)=====
For the Luths, ''la merenda'' is a very important meal, as it is served during the mid-end of the ''pommeriggiu'' before ''la cena'' (the supper). It is usually a light meal identical to the ''prangio''. Due to its cultural importance, the high register greeting ''buono pommeriggio'' is used. Sometimes, ''la merenda'' is served as an [[w:Antipasto|''antipasto'']], a slightly heavier starter before ''la cena'', such as [[w:Salumi|''salumi'']] (e.g. salami, mortadella, prosciutto, bresaola, and other charcuterie products).
 
=====La cena (the supper)=====
''La cena'' is the second main meal of the day, usually the last meal. It occurs during the end of ''la sera'' and has the same structure as ''il mate''. However, for ''la cena'', there is usually an ''aperitivu'' before ''il fromu'', which opens a meal, and it is similar to an appetizer. Most people gather around standing up and have alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks such as [[w:Wine|wine]], [[w:Prosecco|prosecco]], [[w:Spritz|spritz]] or [[w:Vermouth|vermouth]], together with small amounts of food, such as olives, crisps, nuts, cheese, sauce dips, little quiches or similar snacks. There is also a ''digestivu'' after ''la frutta'', it is the drink to conclude the meal. Drinks such as grappa, amaro, limoncello or other fruit/herbal drinks are drunk. ''Digestivu'' indicates that the drinks served at this time are meant to ease digestion of a long meal before resting.
 
===La veca (the week)===
The week (''la veca'') has seven days, named after standard Germanic fashion in colloquial speech, but in high register speech, the Roman names are used instead. All the low register forms were ultimately calqued from a West Germanic language, probably Frankish, Old High German or Langobardic:
 
* '''Il Sauilodagu''' “Sunday”
* '''Il Lunadagu''' “Monday”
* '''Il Teivodagu''' “Tuesday”
* '''Il Godnodagu''' “Wednesday”
* '''Il Donardagu''' “Thursday”
* '''Il Freadagu''' “Friday”
* '''Il Saturnodagu''' “Saturday”
 
The high register forms are ultimately from Latin:
 
* '''Atha Domnico''' “Sunday”
* '''Il Lunedie''' “Monday”
* '''Il Martedie''' “Tuesday”
* '''Il Mercoledie''' “Wednesday”
* '''Il Giuvedie''' “Thursday”
* '''Il Venerdie''' “Friday”
* '''Atha Sabbato''' “Saturday”
 
===I mesi ed atha giar (the months and the year)===
Within the Luthic culture, the [[w:Gregorian calendar|Gregorian calendar]] is used. It was adopted in 1582 soon after the [[w:Papal bull|papal bull]] [[w:Inter gravissimas|''Inter gravissimas'']] issued by [[w:Pope Gregory XIII|Pope Gregory XIII]].
