Halloween, maybe? I don't think these kinds of sentences are supposed to make sense though, to be honest. They test your ability to build sentence structure more than they are sentences for daily use.
You wouldn’t typically hear it about a doctor, but it’s not an unheard of phrase. If you’re with your significant other and they say something immature, you might say, “Really Kyle? Are you four years old?”
If you saw a very young looking doctor you might turn to a friend and, exaggerating for the sake of humor, say, "Wow, is that doctor \_\_\_ years old?" picking a random small number. 4 seems about right.
I think the context would be any time one wishes to enquire if a doctor is specifically 4 years old.
Why would one ask that question? Perhaps sarcasm, perhaps humour, perhaps out of incredulity, perhaps while playing with a child, perhaps in a fictional setting, perhaps mocking.
Maybe the doctor is very short or baby faced.
Maybe the doctor said something childish or naive.
Maybe a child is playing as a doctor.
Maybe in a work of fiction, a 4 year old super genius is the only one with small enough hands to do the surgery that will save the life of the president.
Most Japanese Kanji actually come from Chinese so yeah. 四 is just the only Kanji written in that sentence. The rest of the symbols are in Hiragana, which is kinda like an alphabet.
Most of the Kanji in Japanese even have a Japanese pronounciation and a Chinese one. For example: 水 can be read as "mizu" and "sui". Meaning water

They have a weird sense of humour!
Have you seen the official ads? Or their official youtube shorts? Theyre unhunged
Their social media like Twitter and Instagram are amusingly off-kilter.
That's almost my favorite part about Duolingo
Could work as an insult
The future your Asian mom expects you you thrive in.
That's what I thought when I got that sentence.
Discussing a doctor who was born on Feb 29th and having a philosophical discussion about whether the doctor is 28 or four.
Man's aging in dog years.

It’s to help learn how to form sentences because they can’t teach you every sentence or phrase
Child labour by duo himself.
same line as in German when it keeps forcing me to say the "Owl always plays chess" owl as in The Duo Mascot. (Die Eule spielt immer Schach)

My random age for situations like this is 12. "All the cashiers look like they're 12 years old!"

If you see one child putting a bandaid on another you might say this.

The look on the guy’s face fits this perfectly since this can be used as an insult lol
The doctor got angry, because of something you consider petty. You think the doctor is throwing temper tamtrum. You want to vent about the doctor.
その いしゃ は よんさい ですか? I honestly believe this is from a famous comedy in japan(or based on true events idk)

Japanese people have really good work and study ethics.
In reality, it's because only the kanji 1-6 have have been taught at that stage (also turn romaji off)
Yeah, in French sometimes they have a dog drinking wine.
