Help with expressing duration/time in Greek
While I was learning how to express time in Greek, I came across this ‘formula’ of sorts (from ChatGPT — I don’t have money for a tutor and there aren’t any Greek speakers near me) and wanted to check it with you guys.
I had initially tried translating ‘Domenico is in Athens for three days’ as ‘Ο Ντομένικο είναι τρεις μέρες στην Αθήνα’ — while it’s grammatically correct, ChatGPT noted that the following expression is more ‘native’:
‘Ο Ντομένικο είναι στην Αθήνα εδώ και τρεις μέρες‘
Transliterated to English as: ‘Domeniko is in Athens here and three days’
Is this the way to express the sense of continuity, across time to the present day, in Greek? Thank you so much!
Also I’d like to branch this out into a general question on the accuracy of ChatGPT for Greek language learning.
