Being asked your age

Age decides how people talk to each other, so asking it early is practical, not nosy.

DoAnswer with your birth year — it's what people really want. · Expect them to adjust how they address you afterward.

AvoidDon't take it as rude. · Don't ask an obviously much older person their age directly — ask politely or not at all.
