1993

Clinton's first year

1993 is the year following 1992 and preceding 1994.

Like other years, it functions as a noun identifying a specific point in time born in 1993, an adjective modifying nouns the 1993 election, or shorthand for events of that period another 1993 all over again.

Years are cardinal numbers but behave distinctly—never taking articles or pluralizing in standard use.
