A1 Expression خنثی

Tenho ... anos.

I am ... years old.

معنی

Used to state one's age.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Brazilians often add 'de idade' at the end of the phrase in formal contexts to sound more precise. In Portugal, it is common to use the definite article before names when stating age, e.g., 'O Pedro tem 10 anos'. The 15th birthday (Baile de Debutante) is a major milestone for girls, where 'ter quinze anos' marks a transition to womanhood.

⚠️

The 'Anus' Trap

Be careful with the pronunciation of 'anos'. If you pronounce the 'a' too short or change the 'o', it can sound like the word for 'anus'. Keep the 'a' open and nasal.

💡

Dropping 'Eu'

It is very natural to just say 'Tenho 20 anos' instead of 'Eu tenho 20 anos'.

Using 'Fazer'

If someone asks 'Quando você faz anos?', they are asking for your birthday date, not your current age.

Yes, in informal conversation, if someone asks 'Quantos anos você tem?', you can just say 'Vinte'.

Because Portuguese views age as a possession of time, not an identity trait.

Use 'tem' for one person (ele/ela/você) and 'têm' for multiple people (eles/elas/vocês).

You can ask 'Qual é a sua idade?' which is slightly more formal than 'Quantos anos você tem?'.

It's better to include it to avoid ambiguity, especially with low numbers.

Yes! You can say 'Esta casa tem cem anos' (This house is 100 years old).
