Danish term or phrase: året
året 2000/2001
Ordinarily, this would mean the years 2000 and 2001 (ie two years). If one wanted to mean the "fiscal year 2000-2001" would this be written the same way, or differently ?

agree  Dziadzio: But I don't see what you mean with "åren" - plural definite = årene
2 hrs
  -> plural, definite - OOPS! Sorry! Typo! Yes, "årene".

disagree  Suzanne Blangsted (X): Read the question. It clearly covers two years, not one. Åren ??? not Danish
2 hrs
  -> The question is "året". "Året" is singular. Typo corrected: "Åren" changed to "Årene". Thanks for pointing it out!
