Everyone in Korea has a 띠 (tti) — one of twelve zodiac animals set by birth year. It's small talk, new-year fortune material, and a famously sneaky way to figure out someone's age. Find yours below.

Born in January or early February? The zodiac follows the lunar new year — you may belong to the previous year's animal.

Why do Koreans ask your 띠 instead of your age — and why did births jump 10% in 2007? Read our guide to Korea's zodiac culture.
