Noun

сыл • (sıl)

(time) year
Meronym: ый (ıy, “month”)

Usage notes

Written after a given year to distinguish it from a number, and typically abbreviated as с. Likewise, one writes сс. after a range of years, and –c after a decade. For example 2022-с (the year 2022), 2020–2022 сс. (2020–2022), and 2020-с (the 2020s).

Derived terms

быйыл (bıyıl, “this year”)
