Thank you both of you!

Yes it is clearer, I already had "habiter" for "skn"

Thus, "askunu fii quebec" = "j'habite à québec"
and "a3ish fii quebec" = "je vis à québec"

Girl! You asked in English, so I was English-oriented while trying to explain the difference, I completely forgot that we both speak French too and that French has the same difference between these two verbs like Arabic.
But well, you're a good girl and you know your verbs . Well done.

to tell your age you will say:
أنا ابْنُ )your age here)
if you are a girl/lady say بِنْتُ in place of ابن

yes you can also say:
عُمْرِي (ur age here)

PS: in both exampls the part in braket comes at the end of the sentence [in case it does not sow well on ur machine, like mine :-( ]

When you mix Arabic letters and Latin ones in the same sentence, it gets mixed up. But we got your point .
The second expression is more common.
As for the first, we use it even in dialects. In Morocco for example, but associated with the year of birth, not the age. For example "Ana bnt 85 (1985)".
