Last Year

 When I was young, I was taught that last year was said as gu7nin5.

 When I had my Teochew language lessons, my teacher said people in Swatow would say last year as zion6ni5.

 What is strange is two days ago is said as zoin5rig8 and Mogher has listed zion6rig8 means two days ago.  Do notice that zion6rig8 means two days ago where as zion6ni5 means last year.

 How do you say last year and two days ago in Teochew?
