Use 岁 (suì) to tell someone your age. The sentence pattern is a bit different from English, however.

Structure

The structure for telling someone's age with 岁 (suì) is:

Subject + Number + 岁

This is equivalent to "Subject is Number years old" in English.

Examples

  • 我 20 Wǒ èrshí suì.I am 20 years old.
