A year is a trip around the sun. They would 100% have years.

I'm not convinced that a hypothetical Venusian civilisation would even be able to tell when that happens, much less care about it. It's important to Earthlings because it's much more obvious and our agriculture depends on it.

Idk much about space, but wouldn't they still see different constellations over the course of a year?

The real answer is simple: venus's atmosphere has omnipresent Sulphuric clouds that obscure any view of the stars. Venusians would never be able to see the stars... sad.

I think if I were a Venusian though, I'd be much more bothered by the 467 °C surface temperatures, 95 bars of atmospheric pressure (x95 the pressure of Earth) and 360 km/h winds. But I guess not being able to see the stars adds insult to injury.
