Good morning everybody, I would like to know if it is correct to write 'I am 27 years of age' or is 'I am 27 years aged' the right form? Does this type of expression exist in English Language? I know that 'I am 27 years old' would be more simple but I am sure that I have seen this expression...

Hello, Which is correct here, age or aged? I have seen both on the Internet, and I'm not sure which to use. "All citizens age/aged 18 and older have voting privileges..." Thank you.

I have a question about the age of majority/full age. When somebody attains full age, he ceases to be a minor and becomes full-aged/adult/a person of full age....? What's the exact opposite of the word minor?

I found an article here on IELTS-exam.net web site at http://www.ielts-exam.net/academic_writing_samples_task_1/679/ In this article, there are a few ways to refer to a group of people in certain ages. I also made up two phrases, which are as follows 1. the group of people aged 35-54 2...

1. Overall, female participation increased as age range rises. I don't need the definition article before age range because I am talking about all the age categories in the chart. But isn't the word range a countable noun? Is it grammatically correct to just say 'age range'? 2. 47.7 percent of...

How do English speakers categorise people by age? I think in my culture, young people are those from 18 - 40, middle-aged peolple are those from 40 -55, and elderly is over 60 (I don't know what happened to the 5-year gap though, I guess those people belong to both categories). Are these the...

Hi, How would a young native speaker start a conversation with an aged person? (E.g. a 26 years old person to a 75+ years old person) Hello old man, how are you? -> This would be rude. However, if two persons are the same age or the person addressing is older than the person being addressed...

Bonjour voici ma phrase en français pour le contexte : Un HOMME D'ÂGE-MÛR aborde la prostituée avec le sourire. A MIDLIFE MAN / MIDDLE-AGED MAN approaches the prostitude with a smile. Bon, moi j'ai mis "midlife man", ma réviseuse a mis un X sur mon choix et a plutôt mis "middle-aged...

Neither "age" nor "are aged" fits this context. "Age" as a verb and "are aged" reminds me of wine or cheese being "aged". We say "... are age sixty or older", but it's "... are older than age sixty", not "... are age older than sixty". Any number of Uruguayans is plural except one Uruguayan.

In AE, both are used; "aged" is, I'd say, a bit more formal.

Man, I wouldn't use aged in any of those situations. I'd just use age. For me, aged is a verb ("When her son died, she aged 10 years overnight") or possibly a modifier (aged cheese; "I saw an aged aged man,/ A-sitting on a gate." - Lewis Carroll). But for me, someone's age is 27 - she's 27 years...

Middle aged? L'age vénérable? Hé, ho, on y va tout doucement, là. Middle-aged c'est d'un certain age, il n'y a pas de mot pour les 35-55 ans.

"School-aged children", to me, would be children who have been caused to age (grow older) by the school. I guess this is why most people prefer "school-age", although it's certainly not hard to find examples of "school-aged" being used.

"For children aged 10 and under" = "for children up to 10 years of age" ("up to" = "less than or equal to"). "For children aged 10 and over" = "for children as young as 10 years of age" or "for children starting at 10 years of age."

"Age or "aged" here?

Just to clarify From sense #3 aged From sense #4 old-aged, middle-aged, and -- possibly -- teenaged. EDIT : I've got nothing against using a teenaged daughter, and I do use it myself, in the same way as I would use a blue-eyed daugter. But I see no reason to forbid teenage daughter while at...

D'un certain âge ou... d'un âge certain ? ;) Euh... entre 40 et 50, c'est facile, c'est les "quadras" (quadragénaires). Non ?

Yes. I agree with Copyright & Thomas. I should be aged instead of age.those aged 50 to 74

aged is an adjective, isn't it? Is age a noun?

Strange, right enough. ... aged parent ... old age pension ... middle-age spread ... middle-aged friend ... teenage son I think I have always used teenage rather than teenaged, but I don't use it very often.

I think that these are the results in contention in this thread: Google Ngram Viewer: "died aged,died age,died at the age of" (AE) & Google Ngram Viewer: "died aged,died age,died at the age of" (BrE).

In this structure, I wouldn't use "age/aged" at all. I would say: "A fifth of Uruguayans are over sixty". If you want to use "age", you could say "Many Uruguayans are aged sixty and over". Notice that I've moved the "over" to the end of the sentence.

De middle-aged... l'âge vénérable ;)

From my experience, "aged" is normally used (in the structure "xx years aged") for products that have been left for a period of time before sale (e.g. whisky, cheese, wines). "Years of age" is perfectly fine for saying your age. :)

Of course, age is relative ... Age does not matter unless you are a cheese!:p

It should be "aged". Can you provide us with an example of where "age" is used? Because I would almost always expect "aged" to be correct.

No, we can't. "Getting aged" implies that someone else is "aging" them. It uses "aged", which is the past participle of "to age". Nobody is "aging" you. People can't do that to other people. People can "age" foods (wine, brandy, cheese). "Get" is used in more than one way: 1. passive (Tom is...

In BrE, it would be 'aged 91' or 'at the age of 91', and several other possibilities, though not 'at age 91', in my view.

It's worth a second or third thought. All citizens age 18 and older... First thought, it ought to be "... aged 18 ...". Second thought, based on examples of both in context (see age 18 and aged 18 for current media examples): both forms are used. Third thought. Looking at the BNC and COCA...

A middle-aged person talking about somebody that age: "I spoke to a woman this morning, she told me she had bought a house." PS... how old is "middle-aged?

Basically, to age well means that someone/something has maintained many positive features for their/its age. A person has aged well if, for example, at the age of 80, they are still active and alert, dress well, etc. A person has not aged well if, at the age of 60, they look and act as if they...

I, too, find "in her middle age" unusual and unnatural. I would say "middle-aged." I speak American English.

I prefer "children (of) ages 7 through 12". I would also accept "children aged 7 to 12", but "children age 7 to 12" sounds wrong to me.

Exactly, happy and aged are adjectives. "Age", being a noun, doesn't seem grammatical to me --though I know it's used.

The difference between "age 6" and "aged 6" can barely be heard in speech, so I'm sure both are used.

:thumbsup::):thumbsup: I think I've passed middle age, but I would never denigrate a young adult woman by calling her a "young girl."

Thank you very much everybody. I really appreciate it. What about school-age children? why not "school aged"?

Come now, let's watch out for the pitfalls of corpus use. "Aged" has several other uses besides telling someone's age (remember, for example the "aged parent" of Dickens's Great Expectations; or "that experience aged me 5 years"). If you insert a specific age—say, 14—the Ngram Viewer shows...

Actually, "age 18" sounds natural to me too. In addition to the first comment by nzseries1, one of the online dictionaries I looked up lists a lot of example sentences using "aged..." and few using "age...," so I kind of rushed into the conclusion. It seems like both are acceptable and widely in...

There were two other children beside the twins; Master Micawber aged four, and Miss Micawber aged three. There were twins of unidentified age plus one child aged four and one child aged three. Crossed posts. I agree with e2four and User with no name on the use of "master", though "master"...

At the age of 30 can be used in place of [when] aged 30 (“age 30” is more AE, I think). But it doesn’t work well in your example. In 1979, a drunk driver hit his car. Whittaker, at the age of 30, lost his right foot. :thumbsdown: In 1979, a drunk driver hit his car. Whittaker, aged only 30...

I don't think anyone yet has offered any information to establish "aged 18" is actually correct. We're still missing that piece of information. I think it would be fair to say that there's evidence that both are acceptable and both are in use. "Aged" has a separate meaning with regard to...

Jack quit soccer at the age of 16 but resumed it at the age of 18. — If he’s older than that now (it}s all in the past) Jack quit soccer at the age of 16 but has resumed it at the age of 18. — If he’s still aged 18 now

I think we may have nailed my problem about this. I expect teenage(d) to behave like middle-age and middle-aged, thus: middle-aged man but middle-age spread. I wonder: a. if I've got middle-age(d) right. b. if LV4 is right about the derivation of teen-aged. c. why teenage(d) should be...

Moderator note: this thread has been merged with an earlier one. Nat the admission fee for children age 7 to 12 age ages aged which is the most suitable one? Thank you for your help. :)

There used to be a charity in the UK for old people in need. It was called Help the Aged. It was later merged with another charity and the old-fashioned name was changed. Wikipedia tells me: The merged charity – known initially as Age Concern and Help the Aged, but now branded Age UK – was...

I edited my first post. I notice that this is covered in the Wordreference dictionary. aged /ˈeɪdʒɪd/adj [two syllables] advanced in years; old (as collective noun; preceded by the): the aged of, connected with, or characteristic of old age /eɪdʒd/(postpositive) having the age of: a woman...

I think it is terribly clumsy, and would suggest at the age of 91 or aged 91. x-posted with Beryl

I mean aged people - people with 80+ age.
