Talking about age in Spanish
Here you have a list of terms used in Spanish to talk about different ages.
recién nacido/neonato. newborn (neonato is more formal).
estar en la edad del pavo: (literally, “to be on the turkey’s age). Used to talk about teenagers, especially when they do something stupid. “Siempre está enfadada con sus padres; está en la edad del pavo.” (She’s always angry with her parents; she’s on the turkey’s age)
veinteañero, treintañero, cuarentañero, cincuentañero, sesentañero, setentañero.
A ____ñero/a is a person who is in their twenties, thirties, forties, etc. It’s not used with 10, 80 or 90. “Los veinteañeros no suelen tener trabajos buenos” (People in their twenties normally don’t have good jobs).
estar en la treintena, estar en la cuarentena.
Used to talk about being in your thirties and your forties, but it has a negative meaning behind. “Una vez llegas a la cuarentena, la vida es muy aburrida” (Once you’re in your forties, life is very boring.)
ser mayor de edad/ser menor de edad. to be over 18 / to be under 18
estar en los treinta, cuarenta, cincuenta, sesenta…: Another way to say “to be in your thirties, forties…”. We rarely use it with 20.
tener ____ y pico años: to have over ____ years. Used to say is older than a certain age but the speaker does not want to make it clear. “¿Cuántos años tiene tu amiga? Treinta y pico.” (How old is your friend? Thirty something.) NOTE: Do not use “pico” in Chile, since it means “penis”. Also, we use it from twenty (veinte y pico) onwards. You can also use “veintipico”, but for 30, 40 and so on it’s better to write “NUMBER y pico”
palmarla. colloquial, “to die”.
ser un cuarentón/cincuentón/sesentón. to be in your forties/fifties/sixties. this form has a negative meaning and is used to talk about people between the ages of 40 and 69. For other ages, we use “veinteañero, treintañero, etc.
