According to the search results, the current year in Ethiopia is 2014 or 2015, depending on the source. The Ethiopian calendar is based on the time it takes Earth to make one full orbit around the Sun, also known as a tropical year or solar year. It is a solar calendar, similar to the Julian calendar, and has 13 months in a year, with 12 months of 30 days each and an intercalary month at the end of the year called Pagume, which has five or six days depending on the year. The Ethiopian year starts on September 11 or 12 in a Gregorian leap year, and it is seven to eight years behind the Gregorian year due to alternate calculations in determining the date of the annunciation of the birth of Jesus. Therefore, the current year in Ethiopia is not the same as the current year in the Gregorian calendar used by most countries.
