There are terms for each of those. Someone in his or her 20s is a vicenarian.
Vicenarian. That sounds official and important.
Yeah, doesn’t it? But it’s related to, of course, the French word for 20, vicenarian.
And the word for someone in their 30s is a tricenarian.
Tricenarian. That’s like a dinosaur epic, right?
