> Hello Everyone! My name is Iran, i'm living in Brazil, i have 17 years I have a philosophy blog where i translate articles on humanism and naturalism into portuguese Joined this Forum to learn and pratice my english, i hope it's a good experience. Welcome. I admire people who are multi-lingual. By the way, in English we don't say "I have 17 years." I know in Spanish they say "Tengo diez y siete anos." But in English, we say, "I am 17 years old." or "I am 17 years of age." ---

But I recognized the literal translation that I am guessing is the case with Portuguese, of "I have 17 years."
