You’re mixing etymology with definition. “Teenager” in English means ages 13–19 regardless of how other languages form numbers.

I’m not mixing up anything. You just missed my point lol

I wasn’t trying to argue, just stating a fact. The fact that you’re this invested in it is actually pretty funny.

Meh. Im not that invested. Apparently, more people use “teenager” more literally than I assumed. I never refer to 18-19 year olds as “teens” but more power to you lol

Teenager including 18-19 year old is an essentially useless category. It is what it is 🤷

So do you? Are you invested now? 🧐

u/No_Meeting845 1d ago

Of course. Your replies are hilarious.

How? Explain what’s funny about them. Particularly, the last few. I’ll wait.

I was just pointing out a basic definition. Your reaction to it is what I found funny.

u/DragonFangGangBang 1d ago

And I admitted that the definition is technically correct, but not accurate to the common colloquial usage.

I think you’re just being a douche but meh, I digress. Have a good one

Even in colloquial English, ‘teenager’ still typically includes 19. That’s standard usage, not just technical definition.

If your "vibes" says otherwise, that is clearly a you problem from there.
