I'm sorry for re-posting this question, but it appears that the link for my previous post is broken or something.
I've realised that I don't know how to say 2014 in Japanese! Is it 'ni sen jū SHI' or 'ni sen jū YON'? I apologise if I'm asking for the obvious, but it's really bugging me. Also, if there's a reason for why it is whichever one it is, could you explain this as well please?
Thanks in advance :)

Hello there and happy new year :).
Well, shi(4) and shici(7) are only used alone, meaning those exact numbers.
However, when 4 and 7 are used in numbers bigger than 10 (compound numbers) they are pronounced as yon(4) and nana(7).
So the answer to your question is: ni sen juu yon
Cheers,
Coddo

Thank you so much, I felt a bit silly for asking, but I suppose that's what the forum's here for and it definitely works!
Thanks again for your help,
