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 Hungarian you would say "14 éves vagyok"

"vagyok" means "I am"

"éves" is "év" meaning "year" + "es" which is a suffix turning nouns into adjectives.
