What is another word for declining year?
Pronunciation: [dɪklˈa͡ɪnɪŋ jˈi͡ə] (IPA) 
As the year draws to a close, it's natural to reflect upon the ups and downs, the triumphs and challenges. If the year has been difficult, you might describe it as a "declining year". However, there are many synonyms you can use to describe the same concept. You could say it's been a "turbulent year", "unsettled year", a "hard year", a "rough year", or a "challenging year". These words all convey a sense of difficulty or struggle without using the word "declining". Whatever word you choose, remember that each year has its own unique story to tell, and it's up to you how you choose to tell it.
