Tener Anos

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "tener años" means "to be...years old" in English. To remember this, think of "tener" as "ten," which sounds like "ten," a number, and numbers are often used when talking about age. Now, imagine the word "años" as "onions" — because life is full of layers, just like onions, and each year adds another layer to your life story. So, when someone asks how many "onions" you have, they're really asking how many years you've peeled through! 🧅
