Truthfully, It's not good manners to ask any elderly person or woman their age. Just saying..............Cheer!

What do you mean with ji sui?
hnicolassuero 3 years ago
It is "how many age," which means "how old."

Glad you said that about which approach to use depending on age. Officially, it is usually taught as you explained. However, I have heard some Chinese/Taiwanese debate about this. What is the general cut off age for using Ji Sui? For instance, should people who have become friends still use "Ji Sui" even if they are over 40 or 50 years of age. Also, what about using "Duo Da le" instead of Gui Geng?

I would say "ji sui" is generally good for under 30 and an informal way of asking age. I use it to ask people who are younger or about the same age of me. For people who are over 40, they would use "duo da" to ask each other. "Gui geng" is the most formal among the three. It is good to ask people whose social level or age are higher.
People in the two places have their preference on using "ji sui" and "duo da."
