Why do Koreans start at 1yr old when the rest of the world starts at 0?
In: Other
Think about it like your grade school. When you go to the school for the first time you’re 1st grade. Then the next year every classmate advances to the 2nd grade, and so on.
Koreans count ages like we count grades. Everyone born in 2024 is now 1 years old. And they will be 2 years old in 2025, and so on.
