recruiter:
I see you worked for 5 years at xyz and you used c# but your CV says you used other technologies like sql and you did testing.. So how much of your time was spent writing c#?

me:
Most of the time.. Maybe 60%.

recruiter:
Ok, let me work that out... ok I will put down that you have 3 years c# experience.

    and sleep time, and food time, and travel time. calculate about 3 hours of pure coding time per day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year (holidays and stuff), for 5 years, at 60%. ~3.1 months of experience in c# total.
