Age with "sui"

Nível: HSK 1 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Use 岁 (suì) to give a person's age, similar to how we say "years old" in English. There are a details that work differently from English, however. The structure for telling someone's age with 岁 (suì) is: Subj. + Number + 岁 This is equivalent to someone "is x years old" in English. Notice that you don't need to include any verb when you use 岁 (suì). • 我 20 岁 。Wǒ èrshí suì.I am 20 years old. • 我 儿子 一 岁 。Wǒ érzi yī suì.My son is one year old. • 我 妈妈 今年 45 岁 。Wǒ māma jīnnián sìshí-wǔ suì.My mother is 45 years old this year. • 你 爷爷 今年 80 岁 吗？Nǐ yéye jīnnián bāshí suì ma？Is your grandpa eighty years old this year? • 他 女朋友 也 20 岁 吗？Tā nǚpéngyou yě èrshí suì ma?Is his girlfriend also twenty years old? Note that you shouldn't use either the verb 是 (shì) or the measure word like 个 (gè) in any of these sentences. • 我 的 孩子 一 个 岁 。Wǒ de háizi yī gè suì. • 我 的 孩子 是 一 岁 。Wǒ de háizi shì yī suì. • 我 的 孩子 一 岁 。Wǒ de háizi yī suì.My child is one year old.
