    Ich bin seit 2 Wochen hier.

    Ich bin seit 2 Wochen hier.

    Kontext/ Beispiele
    Sorry - I am confused!!

    "I've been here for two weeks" Does this mean: I arrived two weeks ago and I'm still going to stay (that's what I want to say).

    And "I am here for two weeks" means something else, I know: "only two weeks, not longer"

    But what if you wanted to say, that you've been here sometime in the past and stayed for two weeks, but then you went home again, and now you're back? Wouldn't that be the same as a) (I've been here for two weeks, two years ago)?

    thanks!!!

    If you are still here, you first option is correct: I have been here .....
    Once you went away and have come back to report of past times: I was here for two weeks, and now I have come back for another two weeks/to stay/for an indefinite period of time.

    Vorschlag'i've been here for 2 weeks so far'
    Kontext/ Beispiele
    'ive been here for 2 weeks so far' conveys an idea of continuity,and states that you have been here for 2 weeks already and probably plan to stay longer

    in response to your second query,it would be something like 'i spent a fortnight here 2 years ago'

    "a fortnight" works in BE, but is rarely understood in AE.

    I've been here for 2 weeks. (Ich bin seit 2 Wochen hier und bleibe noch)

    I'm here for 2 weeks. (Ich bin für 2 Wochen hier (und nicht länger))

    I was here for 2 weeks (2 years ago), and now I decided to come back. (Ich war 2 Wochenlang hier - vor 2 Jahren).

    what do you mean by BE/AE?
    #5VerfasserAnnette09 Aug. 06, 20:57
    Kommentar
    BE = British English
    AE = American English

    BE: British English
    AE: American English

    As you know, both countries have a lot in common, except the language ;-)

    well,british english is the original form of the language ;-), and i generally say
    fortnight as opposed to 2 weeks

    You can say what you like. Whether you will be understood everywhere is a different question as you will, I am certain, find out over time.

    @ Annette , that might very well be the case. But that was one of the reasons we had the Revolutionary War and kicked the red coats out.

    indeed,but i'm merely reinforcing the fact that the english language originated here.i'm not saying american english is at all incorrect,but i'm simply emphasizing that where i come from,'fortnight' is the expression used for 2 weeks.

    What's the aggro, Annette? I don't know of anybody who disputed your statement.
