Etymology 4Edit
First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean 설 (Yale: sel).
The word 설 (seol, “Lunar New Year”) originally meant both "New Year" and "year of age". The two terms are connected; in Korea, one gains a new year of age at every New Year (so that all people born in the same year have the same age). In the eighteenth century, speakers created the new term 살 (sal, "year of age") as a yang-vowel alternation of 설, and the original term came to mean only the New Year. 설 and 살 are one of a number of Korean noun pairs with yin-yang vowel alternation which were originally the same word.
NounEdit
살 • (sal)
- (takes native numerals) years of age (of a person)
- 몇 살입니까?
- Myeot salimnikka?
- How old are [you]? ("How many years of age are [you]?")

Usage notesEdit
In traditional East Asian age reckoning, a baby is one year old at birth and turns two years old on New Year's Day. Thus everyone born in the same year is the same age: the current year subtracted by the year of birth, plus one.
