@AndyD273 Well, be careful. This might not apply to German, but in Spanish you can make some grave mistakes: "Mi papá tiene cuarenta y siete años" is a regular statements. But "Mi papa tiene cuarenta y siete anos" will get you some strange looks . . .
And, um . . "Como éstas" means "[I] eat these." "¿Como estás?" means "How are [you]?"
I'm sure there's more.

Sure
año= year ano=anus
papa=potato papá=father

In other words, a potato with a 47yo anus?

Therefore: My father has 47 years (is forty-seven years old.) vs My potato has 47 anuses

But Papá can also refer to the Pope
