In the languages of my ancestors, for example, if someone was 14 years old, they would be “14 år gammal” in Swedish (14 years old) and “14 Jahre alt” in German (14 years old), but in Italian, they would say “ho 14 anni” (I have 14 years).

In Basque language we say “14 urte ditut” (literally “I am 14 years”). Some people say “14 urte dauzkat” (literally “I have 14 years”), probably due to Spanish language influence.
