There are differing opinions aobut that, as reflected e.g. in Wikipedia: Century[^]

In Norwegian, "hundre år" is any 100 year period, while a "århundre" is e.g. the 1900s. So at least half of the problem is solved. A few formalists insist that the 21st century/århundre didn't start until 2001 (yet you didn't see any of them celebrating the new century one year after all the others Smile | :) )

(This conflict is similar to the use of 'general': To a mathematician, something a 'general' rule is unconditionally, always, valid. To common man, 'general' means 'as a main rule'. If I say that "Generally, Bergen has more rain than Oslo", a mathematician will protest: "Last week, Oslo har far more rain - in Bergen the sky was blue. It isn't a general rule that Bergen has more rain". I guess the same holds true in English: 'General' may either imply 'universal' or 'overall'. Except to mathematicians, of course.)
