Tips

mistakes
Don't confuse 实足 ('the full / exact amount') with 十足 - same pinyin, different characters, meaning 'one hundred percent, fully'. 实足三十 = 'a full thirty years old (exactly that age)'; 信心十足 = 'full of confidence'. 实足 specifically means age counted in completed years (Western reckoning), as opposed to 虚岁, the traditional 'nominal age' that counts the year of birth as one.
