He is twice older than me.

What does the above sentence mean?

(1) He is twice as old as me.
(2) He is three times as old as me.
(3) <not natural>
 
It isn't a correct sentence.
Thank you. Barque.

How about this one?

He is two times older than me.
(1) He is twice as old as me.
(2) He is three times as old as me.
(3) <not natural>
 
I'd take that as meaning "twice as old as me", though you could argue it means "three times as old".
 
I'd say it was not correct.
