What is the grammatical construction for "x-year old", as in, "He cares for a twelve-year old?" Thanks!

Dek du jaraĝa infano.
From year (jaro) + age (aĝo).

Another way to put it is dekdu-jarulo, or 12-jarulo.

Of course! Use "ul "! I'm still learning the power of these various affixes, and that one is flat brilliant. My warmest thanks for the help.
