Q: how do you say 2008? -  aman

A: You’d write it as 2008 and say it as 二千八年　(ni sen hachi nen).  It’s quite easy if you’ve done the Japanese Numbers video.

You could be posh and say 平成２０年　(hei sei ni jyu nen) but you only really see that on formal things like when applying for your driving license or something!
