And 2023年, I assume from Japanese.

[nnozomi]

Yup! Interestingly, Japanese pronounces it two-thousand-twenty-three-year and Chinese two-zero-two-three-year, just to make everything even more complicated... .

Interesting, but somehow not surprising since counting in Chinese is already grammatically easier than counting in other languages.

[nnozomi]

Fair enough!
