Dzisiaj jest dwudziesty drugi stycznia
You need to use ordinal numbers in their basic form.
(1)pierwszy, (2)drugi, (3)trzeci, (...), (10)dziesiąty, (11)jedenasty, (12)dwunasty, (13)trzynasty, (...), (20)dwudziesty, (21)dwudziesty pierwszy etc

@kishi0 I guess I stand corrected then 😅. Was the way I said it entirely improper?
- Polish
You should say "dzwudziesty drugi". But it's a little mistake.
Dzwudziesty - Który (dzień) dziś jest? Który (dzień) będzie jutro? "-sty" use when you ask which day of month is it
Dwudziestego - kiedy się spotkamy?
"-stego" use when you ask "when?"
- Polish
@jasonfong55 dwudziestego drugiego stycznia sounds like the 22th January (the month is 22th eg counting from a happening)
but you don't want to say that the month is 22th, but the day of the month is 22th
the full form is
"dwudziesty drugi DZIEŃ (day) stycznia" so we should say "dwudziesty drugi stycznia"
although it's common among Poles to make this mistake and say "dzwudziestego drugiego stycznia", although it's not correct 😝
❗it could be correct in a sentence like that:
dwudziestego drugiego (dnia) stycznia byłam w Krakowie
I was in Kraków on January 22th.
(although it is dative then - celownik)
the basic form (mianownik, nominative) is "dwudziesty drugi stycznia" 😉
