How do you reply to cuántos ańos tienes?

The answer to "cuántos años tienes?" (how old are you?) depends on your age and the level of formality you want to use. Here are some options:

Formal:

* Tengo [age] años. (I am [age] years old.)

* Tengo [age] años de edad. (I am [age] years old.)

Informal:

* Tengo [age]. (I am [age].)

* [age] años. ([age] years old.)

* Voy a cumplir [age] años. (I'm going to turn [age] years old.)

You can also answer in a humorous way:

* No te lo voy a decir. (I'm not going to tell you.)

* Tengo la edad suficiente para saberlo. (I'm old enough to know it.)

* ¿Cuántos años te gustaría que tuviera? (How old would you like me to be?)

Remember:

* Use the formal response when speaking to someone older or in a formal setting.

* Use the informal response with friends, family, or in casual settings.

Let me know your age and the level of formality you need, and I can give you a more specific response.
