iki yıl

also:

iki sene

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Just a question, what is the difference between sene and yil?

Both mean the same , one has arabic origin and the other has turkish origin, that's all

I have found living in Turkey that the language you use often marks you out by class, social or political outlook etc.

I had a colleague who would take a piece of Turkish I wrote and cross out all of the old words (e.g. sene) and replace them with the new pure Turkish words (e.g. yıl). She took pains to tell me I hadnt written it wrong. Just she, as middle class, pro Ataturk,lady preferred the pure Turkish words.

Those who are more religious and less secular may prefer the Arabic words.

Interesting, huh! Makes it more hard for us foreigners learning Turkish.....!!!
