Asking and answering

Imagine a meeting between two characters aged six and seven. One asks the other’s age:

Here are two answers from the book:

Suqta wataypim kachkani.

I am six years old.

Qanchis wataypim kachkani.

I am seven years old.

Learn the complete answers. They are not a template for any age.

The English translations and usage nuances are still under review.
