'how old are you?' No one says 'how old are you this year' or 'how old are you next year?'

so essentially the sentence's wrong,or not in use.Please correct,just give chinese translation for 'how old are you?' Thanks in advance.

@mbtheja This is the Chinese way of saying "How old are you?". In Chinese you can either say "How old are you?" as 你几岁了？ or 你今年几岁了。 Both are correct sentences with grammar applied.

Thanks for your question. If you want to just say "How old are you?", you can say 你几岁了。

Cheers.

@shutup7077 Wow, learning chinese is hard! Thanks for the information. It will definitely help a lot.

您多大了? is just another way of asking the age. It literally means "how big are you?"

你今年几岁了? means "how many years old are you this year?".

Most people simply ask 你几岁了?, which means "how many years old are you?"

If you were to literally translate "how old are you" it would be 你多老了？However, nobody would ask for age this way because it sounds rude, as in you are implying the person is very old.

(1) Because this video is junk, sorry.

你今年几岁了？ can only be asked if you are talking to a kid, younger then 10 or so. 几 is "how much?" but it when you ask with this question you expect a number 10 or less, like 你学过几门外语？ which means "How many foreign languages have you learned so far?", normally a person speaks 2 or 3 or so but not more than 10.

您 多 大 了?

In my Mandarin course, this is how you say 'how old are you'. Why is it different on here?
