Readings
Usage notes
Often abbreviated to much simpler 才, for example in 何才 (“how old?”), or １才 (“1 year old”), as opposed to 何歳 (“how old?”), １歳 (“1 year old”). The phrase "twenty years old" (二十歳) uses jukujikun reading and pronounced はたち (hatachi) using the tradition Japanese counter tsu/chi. Similar native-Japanese readings for “thirty years old” and beyond also occur more rarely.
