GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:year-old
German translation:ein Jahr alt

English term or phrase: year-old
Habe hier einen aktuellen Text, in dem die Rede ist von
"Miami’s year-old Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), which showcases the private collection of Venezuelan benefactor Ella Fontanals".
Finde "year-old" nicht als Stichwort im Wörterbuch und bezweifle, dass es hier "ein Jahr alt" bedeuten könnte, da ein Blick auf die Homepage der Foundation ergibt, dass sie bereits seit 2002 besteht.
Fehler im Original?

ein Jahr alt
Explanation:
I agree with you, but that's what the English says. I'd query that if I were you.

Eine 80-prozentige Mehrheit sagt "1 Jahr alt" *und* ein Collins-Wörterbuch legt mit "einjährig" für "year-long" auch einen Analogieschluss in dieser Richtung nahe. Dann ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit wohl sehr hoch, oder? ;-)

Explanation:
_Year-old_ ohne eine Zahl davor geht nicht; da ist im Ausgangstext etwas verloren gegangen.
In deinem Fall müsste es demnach _4-year-old_ heißen.
