10/14 Tell us about the Korean way of calculating one's age.

Koreans have a different system from Western countries when it comes to calculating their age.
* calculate one's age: 나이를 계산하다.

Koreans say that they're a year older than they would be according to the Western aging system.

Koreans consider the time spent in a mother's womb to be a year.
ex> I miss the time I spent in Laos.

People's birthdays can also change every year if they go by the lunar calendar.
* go by (follow) the lunar calendar: 음력을 따르다.
ex>  My parents go by the lunar calendar for their birthdays.

It's common for people in Korea to ask for someone's year of birth rather than their age.
ex> What's your birth year?
