You will usually find the Indo-Arabic numerals along with the kanji\u00a0<acronym title=\"no - year\">\u5e74<\/acronym>, but you can also find the year written entirely in kanji.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#039;s article, let&#039;s use the year 2009 as an example.<span id=\"more-112\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Writing the year in Japanese with kanji<\/h2>\n<p>One of the ways to write the year in Japanese is using\u00a0<a title=\"the numbers in japanese\" href=\"https:\/\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/en\/the-numbers-in-japanese-with-kanji\/\">the numbers in japanese<\/a>. The year 2008 and 2009 would look like this:<\/p>\n<p><acronym title=\"nisen hachi nen - 2008\">\u4e8c\u5343\u516b\u5e74<\/acronym>\u00a0\u2013 2008<\/p>\n<p><acronym title=\"nisen kyuu nen - 2009\">\u4e8c\u5343\u4e5d\u5e74<\/acronym>\u00a0\u2013 2009<\/p>\n<p>The year 1999 would be:<\/p>\n<p><acronym title=\"sen kyuuhyaku kyuujuu kyu nen - 1999\">\u5343\u4e5d\u767e\u4e5d\u5341\u4e5d\u5e74<\/acronym>\u00a0\u2013 1999<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this way of writing, the Japanese can also write the year by displaying only the digits instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/en\/japanese-numbers-from-1-to-20\/\">write the number<\/a> completely. Watch:<\/p>\n<p><acronym title=\"ichi kyuu kyuu kyuu nen - 1999\">\u4e00\u4e5d\u4e5d\u4e5d\u5e74<\/acronym>\u00a0\u2013 1999<\/p>\n<p><acronym title=\"ni zero zero kyuu nen - 2009\">\u4e8c00\u4e5d\u5e74<\/acronym>\u00a0\u2013 2009<\/p>\n<p>It sounds kind of weird, but it&#039;s common for the Japanese to use the Roman numeral &quot;0&quot; to write the digits of the year instead of using the kanji\u00a0<acronym title=\"king - zero\">\u96f6<\/acronym>, which would be much more complicated to write.<\/p>\n<h2>Writing the year in Japanese with Indo-Arabic numerals<\/h2>\n<p>Another method the Japanese use to write the year is using our Hindu-Arabic numerals. They write the same way we do, but they include the kanji\u00a0<acronym title=\"no - year\">\u5e74<\/acronym>\u00a0after the digits. See the examples below:<\/p>\n<p>1999\u5e74 or 99\u5e74<\/p>\n<p>2009\u5e74 or 09\u5e74<\/p>\n<p>Despite writing with the same numbers as us westerners, reading and pronunciation remains the same.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Writing the Years in Japanese Based on Ages<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike counting the years based on the birth of Christ, as we Westerners do, the Japanese count the years based on the period of validity of each emperor. Thus, when an emperor assumes the throne, the Japanese begin the count of a new period or era, and when the emperor leaves the throne or dies, the era of that emperor ends and the era of his successor begins.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the year 2000 AD represents the twelfth year of the Heisei era. In other words, it had been twelve years since Emperor Akihito assumed the Japanese throne. This is how the Japanese officially count the years in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Good news, at least for us Westerners, is that the Japanese also use our decimal numbering (as described above) in their calendars. Furthermore, in counting the years, they are also using the same system as we are in their day-to-day. Thus, the Japanese calendar ends up becoming very similar to ours, although official documents continue to use the counting system based on the reign of each emperor.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of the ages of Japan&#039;s most recent emperors:<\/p>\n<p>Meiji Era (\u660e\u6cbb) \u2013 1868 to 1912 \u2013 Emperor Mutsuhito<\/p>\n<p>Taishou Era (\u5927\u6b63) \u2013 1912 to 1926 \u2013 Emperor Yoshihito<\/p>\n<p>Shouwa Era (\u662d\u548c) \u2013 1926 to 1989 \u2013 Emperor Hirohito<\/p>\n<p>Heisei Era (\u5e73\u6210) - 1989 to present day - Emperor Akihito<\/p>\n<p>In these cases we write the year indicating the era and then the number of years, then add the kanji for year in Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>\u5e73\u6210\u5341\u4e00\u5e74(1999) \u2013 Eleven years of the Hesei era.<\/p>\n<p>\u5e73\u6210\u4e8c\u5341\u5e74(2009) \u2013 Year 20 of the Heisei era.<\/p>\n<h2>Kanji calligraphy exercise<\/h2>\n<p>Below are the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/en\/how-to-write-japanese-letter-kanjis\/\">Japanese ideographic symbols<\/a>\u00a0used in this article.
