I liked the CNY giveaway where we got to learn more about Chinese traditions. Something educational could be fun. I was told recently that some men in China don’t acknowledge they’re 40th birthday, they remain 39 for two years and then turn 41.
In Chinese way (to my knowledge at least), you don’t say your age ending in 9 because that age don’t bring much luck to you. We always plus one our age to skip the 9, i.e., 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 11, 12…. or 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 22, 23 or 26, 27, 28, 30, 30, 31, 32…. and so on. There’s also another explanation why we can plus one our age
Interesting, my friend said that 40 was an unlucky age so 39 was used twice. They’re 3rd (I think) generation Australian, I’ll have to see if I can find out where their family came from.
Edit Had a quick goodle search and there are a couple of mentions of 40 being an uncertain age for men rather than unlucky but they all look like they’re copied from each other.
