How do you say I am twenty one thirty two years old in Yoruba language?

It's impossible to say "I am twenty-one thirty-two years old" in Yoruba because the language doesn't work that way.

Here's why:

* Yoruba uses a different system for counting years. It doesn't use the "twenty-one thirty-two" system like English. Instead, it breaks down numbers into larger units (hundreds, thousands, etc.).

* Yoruba doesn't directly translate "years old". The concept of age is expressed in a different way, focusing on how many years a person has lived.

To express your age in Yoruba, you'd need to break it down:

1. Calculate the years: You'd say the number of years in a way that makes sense for the language, likely in hundreds and tens (e.g., two thousand, one hundred and thirty-two).

2. Use the appropriate age phrase: You'd use a phrase like "ó ti pé" (meaning "it has reached") followed by the number of years.

Example:

If you're 2132 years old:

* You'd break it down: "Ègún méjì, ógún kan, ó sì tò sí méjìlélógún" (Two thousand, one hundred, and thirty-two)

* You'd add the age phrase: "Ègún méjì, ógún kan, ó sì tò sí méjìlélógún ó ti pé" (Two thousand, one hundred, and thirty-two, it has reached).

Please note: This is a rough translation. There are nuances in how Yoruba expresses age that may be different from English. If you need to express your age in a specific context, it's best to consult with a native Yoruba speaker.
