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. Basic Structure for 岁 (suì) The structure for telling someone's age with 岁 (suì) is: Structure: 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). Examples: 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. Adding "And a Half" to an Age The word for "half" in Chinese is 半 (bàn), and you simply add this after 岁 (suì). Structure: Subj. + Number + 岁 + 半 Examples: 她两岁半。 (tā liǎng suì bàn) = She is two and a half years old. 我 儿子 一 岁 半。(wǒ érzi yī suì bàn) = My son is one and a half years old. # Chinese course # Adult Chinese Teen Chinese Enterprise Chinese Online Chinese HSK Preparation Summer camp  # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
