Is 해 "sun" or "year"? Some places translates it to sun, others to year. Can someone tell me what does it really mean?

해 means sun in modern Korean, but in old texts it can refer to "year". Whenever I speak with my family, I've never heard of them use 해 as "year," and 년 is much more common.

해 means both of the Sun and a year. We have various ways to use for those two words, though. the sun : 해/ 태양 year : 해/ 년 해 and 년 for a year are used in different places. I say 해 when I say 'this year' = '올해' *올해가 가기 전에 영어 공부를 할 거예요. *저는 올해에 대학교에 편입했어요. also '지난해' last year *저는 지난해에 아주 바빴어요. and '다음 해' next year *다음 해에 다시 만나요. I use 년 for dates mostly *2018년에 평창에서 올림픽이 개최됩니다. *2002년에 한국에서는 월드컵이 열렸습니다. but for last year and next year, we also say 작년 last year *작년에는 손님이 많았어요. 내년 next year *내년에 같이 여행 가요. Hope this helps you a bit:D
