Etymology

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

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈaɲo/ [ˈa.ɲo]
  • Audio (Latin America):(file)
  • Rhymes: -aɲo

Noun

año m (plural años)

  1. year
    Hyponyms: día, semana, mes
    Hypernyms: década, siglo, milenio
  2. (a certain) age
    Tengo veinte años. ― I'm twenty [years old].
    Depende de los años que tenga. ― It depends how old it is.

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 (“anus”).
