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).

So kind of like saying "I am 14 yeared" (the same way a shirt with stripes is a striped shirt)? That's actually kind of interesting.
