How would you say "I was born (on) ..[give random date].." in your conlang? Please put literal translations!

In Reinhas:I was born October 8, 1999 = Jan bierte de Ot de Otast de NoNuntNustEinsteig.
Lit: I to be born of 8 of October of 1999 (9-90-900-1000).

In Novbasa: Me li janma na Sep Dekun-Mes Kilnavbaknavdeksan. (I was born November 7th, 1993)

In a more colloquial form, the year can be expressed simply by listing the separate numbers. So 1993 would become un-nav-nav-san.

EDIT: That isn't my birth date. In fact, me li janma na Dek Pa-Mes Kilnavbaknavdek (I was born August 10th, 1990).

born.QLT.ADJ=be.IND.PST.1SG fifth.RLT.ADJ-GEN.SG July-GEN.SG year-GEN.SG thousand nine.hundred ninety
I was born on the 5th of July of the year 1990.

(QLT = qualitative, RLT = relational)

Sa [bolivue] 1999 (read: celecegecevo) ney lejith [belu] Agùsti ritkaffa.
[subject-year (ablative)-day (signified by -th)-month (dative)-to be born (ritkaffyejan)] (best you'll get from me today, at least you know what the order is)

Years are generally ignored when actually telling someone when you were born. The month and day are more important to an Isyan, since birthdays and -months play a big part in celebrations. You can celebrate both the month and the day, but a year is literally once in a lifetime since you can't go back to a year that's passed, but months cycle. (kinda stating the obvious, but it's to reinforce why the year is so ignored).
