The Chinese word 岁数 (suìshù) for "age" is composed of two characters: 岁 (suì) and 数 (shù). The character 岁 originally meant "year", and it is still used in this sense today. The character 数 originally meant "number", and it is still used in this sense today. When the two characters are combined, they form the word 岁数, which means "age".The word 岁数 can be used to refer to a person's age in years, or it can be used to refer to the number of years that have passed since a particular event. For example, if someone is 20 years old, we can say that their 岁数 is 20. If it has been 10 years since a particular event, we can say that the 岁数 of that event is 10.The word 岁数 is a very common word in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used in everyday conversation and in a variety of texts.
