Blush! Ýrimi and Tenkan

I am a new aikidoka and not an english speaker(sorry for typos and grammar)...from my 1.5 years training i have now 3rd Kyu rank...

Irimi is called as "20 years technique" does it mean you need 20 years to learn the technique in average? so that i may ask the differences i just accomplished 7.5 per cent to do technique properly. I want to ask lots of questions about just for this technique. Those are follows;

1) Difference between following wazas.
ÝrimiNage
Ýrimi_No_Ýrimi
Koho_Ýrimi
Ýrimi_No_Tenkan
2) Is this following comment ok for you?
Irimi and tenkan are basic techniques in aikido. Irimi is to enter and tenkan is to escape. In aikido either you enter directly to your opponent or escape with tenkan and apply waza afterwards. All techniques in aikido must include one of them.
3) What is the difference between(all of them is related with turning your body without moving the center..IMHO of course);
Tenkan
Kaiten
Koshi-Mawashi
4) Is it ok that a 3rd kyu grade aikidoka does not know the answer of the above 3 questions

Thanks in advance
