The Chinese word 年龄 refers to a person’s age. It is a common term used in daily conversations, official documents, and forms. In Chinese culture, age is often considered an important factor in social interactions and relationships, and it is customary to address people using specific titles based on their age. For example, older people are often addressed as “auntie” or “uncle”, while younger people may be referred to as “little brother” or “little sister”. Knowing someone’s 年龄 is important in order to use the appropriate form of address and show respect.
