What is the difference between verb and when talking about your age in Italian?

You're right to be confused! In Italian, there's no direct equivalent of "verb" for expressing age.

Here's the breakdown:

* "Avere" (to have): This is the verb used to describe age. It functions as a verb of possession, where you're "having" a certain number of years.

* "Anni" (years): This is the noun used to specify the unit of age.

Example:

* "Ho venti anni." (I am twenty years old.)

Here, "ho" is the first person singular present tense of "avere" (to have), and "anni" are the years.

Important Note: There's no separate verb for age in Italian. It's always expressed using "avere" followed by the number and "anni."
