二年

二年 (èr nián) means 'two years' in English. It is a noun phrase used to describe a duration of time equal to two annual cycles, often used in academic, legal, or professional contexts.

The character 二 (èr) means 'two,' and 年 (nián) means 'year.' Together, they form a compound noun that literally translates to 'two years.' This structure follows the standard Chinese pattern of combining a numeral with a time unit.
