<!-- (Audio) Mateo: Tengo 25 años. -->

--description--

Mateo is mentioning how old he is in Spanish using the following structure, with the verb tener ("to have"):

Tengo + number in words + años.

Remember, numbers in Spanish from 21 to 29 start with veinti-, followed by the corresponding number. For example:

25 is veinticinco. This results from removing the e and adding i before the number cinco.

Numbers from 1 to 9 in Spanish are:
