Aged of, old in French 🇫🇷

agé de info.

Tips to remember the French word “âgé de”:
– The accented “â” in “âgé” can remind you of the word “age” in English, and “de” means “of,” so together “âgé de” translates to “aged of” or simply “aged.”
– Think of “âgé de” as the French equivalent of giving someone’s age: “He is 30 years old” becomes “Il est âgé de 30 ans.”
– You can also use mnemonics like imaging a person of a certain age holding a sign that reads “âgé de” followed by their age.

Explanations:
– “Âgé de” is used when specifying the age of a person or sometimes an object, much like “years old” in English. “Âgé de” literally translates to “aged of,” but it’s used where English would use “old” after a number to indicate age.
– In French, “ans” (years) is usually placed after the age number when using “âgé de.”

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “Vieux” (old, typically used for things rather than people or used to describe people as a characteristic rather than their actual age)
– “Ancien” (old, former; used for non-age-related contexts too, like for ‘former president’)

Alternate meanings like slang:
– “Âgé” doesn’t have a common slang usage – it’s a pretty straightforward term. However, it’s always possible for slang to create new meanings for words over time, so the usage can vary in informal settings.

Examples of sentences that use “âgé de”:
– “Mon fils est âgé de 5 ans.” (My son is 5 years old.)
– “Cet arbre est âgé de plus de 100 ans.” (This tree is over 100 years old.)
– “L’acteur, âgé de 40 ans, a remporté plusieurs prix.” (The actor, who is 40 years old, has won several awards.)
– “Elle est âgée de 18 ans et vient d’entrer à l’université.” (She is 18 years old and has just started university.)
