뜻
Stating one's age.
문화적 배경
Privacy regarding age is common among adults, especially in professional settings. It's often better to wait for someone to volunteer their age. Similar to Germany, but milestone birthdays (like 50) are often celebrated with large public signs or 'Schandbäume' in rural areas. Age is often linked to specific civic duties, such as military service, which begins around 19-20 years old.
Drop the 'alt'
In casual conversation, you can just say 'Ich bin 20'. It's perfectly natural.
Don't use 'haben'
This is the #1 mistake for English, Spanish, and French speakers. Stick to 'sein'.
