Agreed, 20 is young for a Hobbit. Since there is such a thing as "tweens" (the 20s) as being considered immature as Hobbits go, I think it's probably fair to make a rough comparison as follows:age 0-10 in a Hobbit -> 0-7 in a human; 11-20 in a hobbit -> 8-14 in a human; 21-30 in a hobbit -> 15-21 in a human. These are my own guesstimations, so if anybody wants to offer something better, feel free. I'm talking about character maturity only, just so that's clear.

Male hobbits can safely be called men, I would think. They would consider themselves so, I'm sure.
