In every translation the idea/context is what is important. If the emphasis is on telling the younger person that you're older than (s)he is, Do you know how long I have lived before you were born?. Do you know how old I was when you were born? I guess this is what the pidgin expression seeks to convey instead of just saying "I'm not your age mate" Again, "How many years I take senior you?" Could also mean "we are age mate" or "you are not too young" depending on the discussion. An older person might say that to remind someone claiming to be much younger that they are not as young as they claim. Tinubu if taunted by an Osinbajo could easily say in pidgin: how many years I take senior you? Suggesting that they are age mate |

The thing is, that question in the pidgin form is authentic, whilst in the English form is polite. So the main issue here is how to pass across the authoritative tone in English. Except that, the correct English has been stated as, What's our age difference? or what's the age difference between us? I'm sorry to say, you cannot pass the authoritative form of that pidgin to English. So accept the answer like that... |
