"He is one hundred years old."

Translation: El are o sută de ani.

Isn't that He HAS a hundred years or am I still missing the grammatical gender point?

[razvan.marin]

The Romanian way of indicating someone's age is are X ani which literally translates to English as has X years, yet the English way of indicating it is is X years old.

[nfmonteiro]

The concept of "having" an age is generally true for all romance languages, and something English speakers struggle a bit with. In Portuguese, for example, this sentence would translate to "Ele tem cem anos", exactly a word for word correspondence with Romanian. Same in Italian, "Lui ha cento anni" or French "Il a cent ans".

Should una sută be accepted as well as o sută?
