Usage notes

• When used in specifying a year, this term is normally used with the word alku ‎(“beginning”). Sometimes possessive suffix -mme ‎(“our”) is added:

ennen ajanlaskun alkua

before the Common Era; (lit.) before the beginning of the Common Era

jälkeen ajanlaskumme alun

of the Common Era; (lit.) after the beginning of our Common Era

• The traditional and still more common way of differentiating between the years before and of the Common Era is to refer to the birth of Christ with ennen Kristusta ‎(“before Christ”) or jälkeen Kristuksen ‎(“anno Domini, lit. after Christ”).
