意味
Asking for someone's age
文化的背景
Age is a primary factor in determining social hierarchy. Younger people are expected to use 'Tusīñ' (formal you) for anyone even slightly older. Exact birth dates are often unknown among the elderly. They might respond with historical events like 'The Partition' (1947) or 'The Green Revolution'. Birthdays are often celebrated with a 'Path' (prayer) at the Gurdwara rather than just a party. English influence is heavy. You might hear 'Tuhāḍī age kī hai?' more often than the pure Punjabi version in cities like Chandigarh.
Gender Agreement
Always remember 'Umar' is feminine. If you forget, just remember 'Umar is a girl's name too' to keep the grammar feminine!
Elder Etiquette
If asking an elder, add 'ਜੀ' (Jī) at the end of the sentence to soften the question.

よくある質問
4 問It is feminine. That is why we say 'Tuhāḍī' and 'Kinnī'.
Yes, 'Tuhāḍੀ ਉਮਰ ਕੀ ਹੈ?' is understood, but 'Kinnī' is more common for asking about a quantity like age.
Use 'Terī umar kinnī hai?' or 'Tūñ kinne sālāñ dā haiñ?'.
It depends. It's fine for peers and children, but use caution with elders or women you've just met.
