뜻
Refers to the current year.
문화적 배경
The phrase is often followed by 'إن شاء الله' (God willing) when referring to future plans within the year, reflecting a cultural reliance on divine will. During the Hijri New Year, 'هذا العام' refers to the lunar calendar. People exchange 'Hijri' greetings and reflect on the Prophet's migration. In the Levant, 'هذا العام' is strictly for formal news, while 'هالسنة' is used for everything else, including intense gossip or family planning. In North Africa, the French influence sometimes leads to a mix, but 'هذا العام' remains the standard for literacy and education.
The 'Sana' Swap
If you forget if 'Am' is masculine, just use 'Hādhihi as-Sana'. It's more common in speech anyway!
Don't forget the 'Al'
Without 'Al', you aren't pointing to *this* year, you're just saying 'this is a year'.
