# --explanation--

Sebastián says `Tengo veintiún años`, which means "I am twenty-one years old".

The word `veintiuno` means 21.

When referring to age, the word `veintiún` is used instead when it's followed by the word `años` ("years"). This shortened form is used immediately before plural masculine nouns.

After saying his age, Sebastián returns the question to Ángela with `¿Y tú?`.
