[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] A person who is older than you / 年长 / 연상 / Lớn tuổi hơn

年上としうえ” means “A person who is older than you” The basic way to use it is “___はわたし年上としうえだ。(___ is older than me.)”, “わたしより___才年上さいとしうえ(___ years older than me)”, etc. For instance, “かれわたし年上としうえだ。(He is older than me.)”, “わたしより2才年上にさいとしうえ(two years older than me)”, etc. The tips for using it are that “年上としうえ” doesn’t have both a good and bad meaning, it’s just normal. You would explain HOW OLD HE/SHE IS OLDER THAN YOU. Everybody could use it both in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal such as “かれわたし年上としうえでよ。(He is older than me.)” in daily conversations as casual and “かれわたし年上としうえです。(He is older than me.)” as polite and formal.
