"This year, last year, next year"

Translation: 이번해, 지난해, 다음해

[Sam712121]

Why is 내년 wrong for this one

[wintertriangles]

No idea. 올해, 작년, 내년 should be accepted

[crystal-ball]

Which one is more common: 이번해, 지난해, 다음해 or 올해, 작년, 내년?

[wintertriangles]

올해, 작년, 내년

[junhoon]

It's a good thing then that Duolingo uses the more common expressions

[Myles288]

Why are there so many different ways to say This year,last year, and next year?

[Staszek456]

Because they adopted Chinese 'versions' beside their own, native. The ~년 ones are of Chinese origin while ~해 are geniuinely Korean

[Myles288]

That makes sense.

[Indri969483]

When we use native and chinese,, i still don't understand why that wrong

(1) There are two distinct sets of words, the pure Korean one which uses 해 for year; and the sino-korean one, 년.

(2)
• Sino-korean:

작년, last year;

금년, this year;

내년, next year.

• Pure Korean:

지난 해, previous year (last year)

이번 해, current year (this year) / 올해, this year-to-date

다음 해, following year (next year)

(3) There are no difference in meaning between the 2 sets and are used depending on the individual's preference.

Just be aware to use korean words (numbers) with korean words; and sino-korean words with sino-korean words.

@duolingo : since 올해 is accepted in other exercices of this same section for "This Year"... how comes it is wrong here????????

[AndryChristian]

The 'last' here only means previous (year) right? Or can be final (year) as well?

[AndryChristian]

지난해 can only mean previous year right? It cannot mean "final year"?

[oee16]

Yes.

Final year: 마지막 해 (hangul) or 최종 년 (hanja)
