Como Estibalitz, tengo veintisiete a~nos pero in agosto cumplo veintiocho.
When I was talking on Skype with my good friend Daniela in Argentina, she used the words "luces mas joven" instead of "pareces mas joven".
Do they mean the same?
vikia, yes, it´s another way to say "you look younger".
Estoy diecisiete años
is it correct to write that?
tengo diecinueve anos
rabinadhikary: ¡Ojo! "ano" significa algo muy distinto. :) Attention! "ano" means something very different. :)

No es lo mismo decir tengo 20 años que tengo 20 anos
It is not the same to say I have 20 "años" as to say I have 20 "anos"

Hi,
I just wonder what is the different between "muchas" and "mucho"
thanks
"Muchas chicas" it´s a feminine adjective.
"Mucho talento" it´s also an adjective in this case a masculine.
"Mucho" on it´s own it´s an adverb, like TE QUIERO MUCHO. I like you a lot.
Muchas gracias!, Lilia,
this is really useful :)
Yo tengo 27 años.
Gracias por el gran trabajo todo el equipo.
