The phrase Tengo + [age]+ años is the most common way to say your age in Spanish. It's equivalent to "I am [age] years old"
It is the answer to the question ¿Cuántos años tienes? ("How old are you?").
Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
How old is Sebastián?
Veintiuno
Veinte
Sebastián mentions a different number.
Veintidós
Sebastián mentions a different number.
Treinta y uno
Sebastián mentions a different number.
1
Sebastián says Tengo veintiún años, which means "I am twenty-one years old".
The word veintiuno means 21.
When referring to age, the word veintiún is used instead when it's followed by the word años ("years"). This shortened form is used immediately before plural masculine nouns.
After saying his age, Sebastián returns the question to Ángela with ¿Y tú?.
