    Default Correct English Version or Translate into English (mời dịch sang tiếng Anh)

    Translate Vietnamese into English:

    Hiện nay mẹ 36 tuổi, hỏi con bao nhiêu tuổi? Biết rằng, năm mẹ 29 tuổi thì mẹ sinh con.

    My version:
    The mother is 36 years old at the moment, how old is the kid? Given that, the mother gave birth to her kid at the age of 29.

    How about your comment?

    I can try.

    At current, a mother is 36 years old, how old her kid is ? knowing the mother gave birth to her kid at age of 29.

    I guess:
    "A mother is 36 years old at the moment, how old is her kid?"
    "How old her kid is" not a question.

    To me this was more of a rhetorical question:
    the mom is 36, and "you're" asking how old is the kid?, knowingly that the kid was born when she was 29.

    Thanks for your comment.

    I think too. This is a mathematical problem and mathematical terms are used.
