Etymology

From Latin annus ‎(“a year”), from Proto-Italic *atnos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂et-no-, probably from *h₂et- ‎(“to go”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈa.ɲo/
• Rhymes: -aɲo

Noun

año m ‎(plural años)

1. year
2. (a certain) age

   Tengo veinte años.

   I'm twenty (years old)

   Depende de los años que tenga.

   It depends how old is it.

Usage notes

• To talk about someone's age, in Spanish the construction is "tener X años" (literally, have X years). So, "I'm 18 (years old)" would be "tengo 18 años". Similarly, "how are old are you?" would be "¿cuántos años tienes?" (literally, "how many years do you have?")
• Do not confuse with ano, which means "anus".
