noting the difference in Calander, and it surprised many of her followers on TikTok.
While Chika said the country was in 2017, some online sources about the topic slightly differ as they noted that Ethiopia was in 2016.
Instead of the Gregorian Calendar, Ethiopia uses the Geez Calendar, which has an additional month to make it 13 months in a year.
Usually, to calculate the current year in Ethiopia, seven or eight years are deducted from the regular Gregorian calendar, according to Ethiopian Calendar, a website offering information about the topic.
The Ethiopian Calendar states that the new year is observed in Ethiopia on September 11 instead of January 1.
An article published by the Embassy of Ethiopia, Washington DC, offered more insights on the topic, noting that the country uses alternate calculations.
It says: “While much of the world marks the passing of days according to the Gregorian calendar, Ethiopia has its own calendar, which is also known as the Ge’ez Calendar. Based upon the ancient Coptic Calendar, the Ethiopian Calendar is seven to eight years behind the Gregorian Calendar, owing to alternate calculations in determining the date of the annunciation of the birth of Jesus.”
