How to Say the Year 2008 in Spanish

By •
dos mil ocho
year
The year 2008 is said dos mil ocho in Spanish.
Use en before the year, as in en 2008.
Meaning: the year 2008 (numeral)

What does it mean word for word?

Like all Spanish years, it is read as a full number: dos mil (two thousand) plus ocho (eight). No y is used.

Did you know?

  • Spanish always reads years as complete numbers, so 2008 is dos mil ocho and not "twenty oh eight".

Examples in context

  • Nos casamos en dos mil ocho.
    We got married in 2008.
  • Ella terminó la universidad en dos mil ocho.
    She finished university in 2008.
