He's six years older than me
 
How do you say the following sentences:

"He's 6 years older than me."

"This is the second biggest city in the country."


thank you

Small error.

Or:

Él es seis años mayor que yo.

Ésta es la segunda ciudad más grande del país.

The word order in your proposals feels strange, Bob:

"Él ha cumplido seis años más que yo" would sound better, but I think the listener would be wondering six more years of what. "Tiene seis años más que yo" would be more easily understood "of age".

"Ésta es la segunda más grande ciudad en el país" separates "segunda" from" ciudad" and forces the listener to be even more attentive to find out to what "segunda" is related. :thinking:
