I don't agree neither with lieven nor with Jeremy.
The original question is how to say "almost a year ago".
Lieven's anniversary solution goes: "one year ago happens whatever; not yet has happened its anniversary"
The two parts of the above statement are mutually exclusive. If the "whatever" happened/happens one year ago, then how come its anniversary is yet to occur ?
Because I see the "one year ago" as a not very exactly defined time period. I don't know what Klingons think about it, but 99 % of the situations when people say "one year ago", they don't mean EXACTLY 365 days ago. It's usually only roughly a year, but also not clear whether it's more or less than a year. Am 08.02.2019 um 15:09 schrieb mayqel qunenoS:

Yes, that's the similar way I wanted to go and might even be a better solution than what I proposed. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/StarTrekDiscovery
