Expressing years in Polish

Hello, I was wondering if someone could guide me as to how to express years in Polish: ie 1970, 1845, 1206, etc? Is there a rule, or maybe a website that will help me to understand it better?

thank you,
Ania

How are years said in words?

1997 - nineteen ninety seven
2001 - two thosand and one / twenty-o-one

in Polish, please.

I suppose:

it happened in 1984
... until 2012

these use a different case?

In words, please, someone.

we dont use "twenty-o-one" versions, neither nineteen ninety seven.

More like 1997 - tysiac dziewiecset dziewiecdziesiaty siodmy.

2012 - dwa tysiace dwunasty.

Yes, as an example, if I was to say that I was born in 1955, I would write in Polish, 'urodzilem sie, w tysianc dziewiecset piecdziesatym piatym roku'.

In 2001 I have not a clue, but I suppose something like w dwa tysiace pierwszym roku or something similar.

To sie stalo w tysiac dziewiecset osiemdziesatym czwartym roku.
until, I suppose would be do dwa tysiance dwunastego roku. I do not think that the dwa tysiance is declined but I am not too sure.

English 2007

Polish 2007r


Why do you put the "r" at the end? I know it stands for "rok" but is it necessary to have it after the 2007 (or any year)?

I think I have seen in some Latin-derived languages, they have the letter 'a' there, meaning annum.

What about centuries?
Some languages have a tendency to use Roman numerals.
XXI being where we are now.

Yes.

There are other threads about dates. If it helps.

Yes, is there a specific reason for adding "r" at the end? Does it matter if it's not there when writing in Polish?

:) I know. I just didn't think about this "r" thing until I saw it here :)

Install Polish keyboard layout; you will be able to switch between Polish and English (and whatever you choose) with the small icon on taskbar. You should be able to find it in 'international settings'. Sorry, for not being more specific, but I don't use windows at home.
