:-) Repitition is a good way to study a language... ;-)
One normally wouldn't call a professor a teacher (it is a sign of disrespect).

Why doesn't it accept : en yaşlı profesör 80 yaşında?
I already know the numbers, I want to save time typing.

is the "n" in "yasinda" returns to the professor?? so how can i say "i am eighty years old"?
First, I have to say a good observation! This is where the construction for age originally came from "yaş+possesive suffix=locative". However, everything is just described with "yaşında" now. You would say, for example, "Ben seksen yaşındayım."
'The oldest professor is aged eighty' is regarded as incorrect. However, yaşında means aged. Can this be corrected please.
