I hope this is the right category. In America, your counted as 0 years old at birth and 1 year old a year later on your birthday, but in some countries, you count as 1 year old at birth and 2 a year later, or even 2 when the new year comes. What's it like in Poland?

My wife is 28 years old and was born in 1993. Hence, I believe, Poles count also year zero as 0 years old.

I'm not sure if they would count your age as "1 year old" in any country - it would make no sense and would confuse the systems. I wonder what country you mean; definitely in Poland you count age from "0 years old."

They do. Whether it is or isn't make sense to you, it makes sense to them.

Apparently you are wrong and they were wrong too.

"South Koreans have become a year or two younger as a new law aligns the nation's two traditional age-counting methods with international standards."

If anything, then only 9 months old.
