Alo cadun,

Me es felis ce la disionario enlinia de lfn opera denova.

Me vole scrive en lfn:

"I have been studying LFN."

En engles, acel es la "Present perfect progressive" tempo (o "Present perfect continuous" tempo). Me comprende ce no ave un tal tempo en lfn, ma esce ave alga cosa corespondente?

Me devina:

"Me ia es studiante lfn."

Ma me suposa ce acel sinifia "I was studying LFN", no "I have been studying LFN".

Grasias,
Robert

In English there is a "Present perfect progressive" tense, also known as the "Present perfect continuous" tense. Example:

"I have been studying LFN."

It implies:

- action beginning in the past and continuing until the present
- an emphasis on the duration of the action, on its continuous nature

(Please note, I do not wish merely to say "I was studying LFN." That would not imply anything about the importance of duration, about action being continuous, or about when the study ended.)

How can I say this in LFN?

My best guess is something like:

Me ia es studiante lfn.

But I guess that means "I was studying LFN", not "I have been studying LFN". Is there some phrase, or form, that I could use which imparts the same subtle meaning as the English?

All the best,
Robert
