Three centuries
The word century in the Russian language has several meanings. Let's pay attention to three of them (in our opinion, the most important ones):: 1) "century", 2)" epoch, a period of time characterized by something", 3)"life, the period of existence of someone". In the general literary language, of course, the first of them is the main one. In dialects, the third comes to the fore.

See also the literary and dialect versions of proverbs: To live life is not a field to cross. A century to live - page 32 to go to the field; To live a century is not to plow the field. However, there are semantic and stylistic differences between these words. The century in this sense has a high stylistic coloring, which is also evident in dialects, although it should be spoken carefully, since the problem of stylistic differentiation of dialect vocabulary has not yet been solved. In dialects (in particular, Bryansk, which is recorded in the "Dictionary of Bryansk Dialects"), there is also a shade of meaning" a ... Read more
