To ask someone's age, Esperanto says ? or aĝas? - note the second, because aĝi is a verb meaning to be a certain age: aĝas . English speakers reach for ?, a direct calque of "how old are you", and it lands as rude, since really does mean elderly. Ask a twenty-year-old that and you have accidentally called them ancient. Plenaĝa means of full legal age, neplenaĝa a minor, mezaĝa middle-aged.
