Every fourth year we have the Summer Olympics. Which happens to always be the same year that the leap year occurs. So, next one will be in 2024, then 2028, and so on. For those of us who are into sports, it is an easy memory rule, easy to remember.

But would you know how to say leap year in some other language? Or leap day? Let’s take here the word Leap Day, and then the sentence: I was born on a leap day. Those “lucky” people who kind of get older only every four years, tend to celebrate their birthday either on the 28th, like today. Or tomorrow, March the 1st. Some may even celebrate it on both days! Are you perhaps one of them?

PS. If you want to see an additional language in these lists, just say so. And for other Language Day articles (that appear every 29th, except for non-leap-year February), check under Categories.
