Is "Umur" needed or can you omit it?

Is "Umur" needed or can you omit it?

You can omit it.
The sentence will still have the same meaning.

Different structure, same meaning, something like this

"Umur kamu sepuluh tahun." = Your age is ten years.
"Kamu sepuluh tahun." = You are ten years.

Would "Kamu sepuluh tahun umur" also be correct?

no, it sounds weird

Yes it sounds weird haha

But if you add "-nya" at the end of umur, that will be natural and informal

"Kamu sepuluh tahun umurnya"

I feel like "You are 10" should be accepted. You'd never say "Your age is 10" in English.

You could put you are 10 years old

"Your age is ten years." is not a valid answer?

August 17, 2018

I feel this should be a valid response also. Despite feeling awkward in English it's a more direct translation.

the intonation look like a question, not a statement.
