My favorite is that in French, you don't ask "How old are you?" "I'm 50 years old," you ask "What age do you have?" "I have 50 years."

It's like you've aged like a fine wine, versus being old and past your prime.

Well, age is an attribute. Do you say "I have blue eyes" or "I am blue-eyed"? I guess both are technically valid.
