Hello everyone.. Please i need help right now. This is a very big temptation for me, because i'm a graduate and i don't want to fall my hand. My junior sister of 14 years just asked me to help her in correcting this sentence. The question seems easy, but i think i need help b4 i disgrace myself as a graduate. She said i should help her with the the correct english to this sentence; How Many Years I Take Senior You? I just take style do like say i wan make call, and decided to come to nairaland. Someone should help, because she is waiting for me to finish my call. What is the correct english please! "Though, from the suggestions i've got here, i've told her that; "What is our age differece" is the correct one. But i'm still doubting it anyways, because from the question, the person asking that question is older. But "what is our age difference" dosn't specifies who is older as in the question; (How Many Years I Take Senior You) Maybe, there is no best grammer to that s Sentence. ANY? 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Znation:how much older am I than you? whoever is asking such a question doesn't really want an answer , it's often used to address a disrespectful younger one. You are disrespectful/rude could also be used. 141 Likes 10 Shares |

You say "how many years old than you am I?" (and all its variants). You can also say "what is our age difference?" (and its variants too). Though interchangeable, they are not exactly the same. The first suggests you're sure you're older but want to know how much older you really are. The second doesn't emphasize who's older. My understanding of pidgin is poor, so forgive me if I went off on a tangent. @OP, the article "a" in your title shouldn't be there. 4 Likes |

That sentence can only be use in the pigin form, there is no correct english to it.
