Usage notes

[edit]
  • To talk about someone's age, in Spanish the construction is tener X años (literally “have X years”). So, "I'm 18 (years old)" would be tengo 18 años. Similarly, "how are old are you?" would be ¿cuántos años tienes? (literally “how many years do you have?”).
  • Do not confuse with ano (“anus”).
