Quel âge as-tu ?

How old are you? (informal)

意味

An informal question to ask someone's age.

🌍

文化的背景

Asking an adult's age is often considered 'indiscret' (impolite). It is better to wait for them to mention it or avoid the topic in early stages of friendship. In Quebec, the use of 'tu' is much more widespread than in France. You might hear 'Quel âge as-tu ?' used more quickly with people of similar age, even if they aren't close friends. Respect for elders is paramount. You would almost never use 'tu' (Quel âge as-tu ?) with someone older than you; 'vous' is strictly required.

⚠️

The 'To Be' Trap

Never say 'Je suis 20'. It sounds like you are literally the number 20. Always use 'J'ai'.

🎯

The 'Ans' Requirement

In English, you can say 'I am 20'. In French, you MUST include the word 'ans' (years). 'J'ai vingt' is incomplete.

It's very blunt and slightly rude. It's better to use the full phrase or 'Tu as quel âge ?'.

It indicates that a letter (usually 's' or 'e') was removed from the word historically.

It is always 'Quel' (masculine) because 'âge' is a masculine noun.
