In which year?
A life in four years. Each year is said the same way.
| Year | In that year |
|---|---|
| 1980 | в ты́сяча девятьсо́т восьмидеся́том году́ |
| 1990 | в ты́сяча девятьсо́т девяно́стом году́ |
| 2005 | в две ты́сячи пя́том году́ |
| 2010 | в две ты́сячи деся́том году́ |
| 2020 | в две ты́сячи двадца́том году́ |
The thousands and hundreds stay as they are; the last part becomes an ordinal with -ом, and год becomes году́.
