året 2000/2001
Ordinarily, this would mean the years 2000 and 2001 (ie two years). If one wanted to mean the "fiscal year 2000-2001" would this be written the same way, or differently ?

The question is "året". "Året" is singular. Typo corrected: "Åren" changed to "Årene". Thanks for pointing it out!
