During a discussion w someone from Paraguay they insisted w a smile

Cuantos anos(tilda) llevas aqui? However there is no form of llegar w this spelling in the renowned Christopher Kendris, Phd verb resource

As an aside would u recommend Cuantos meses ha estado aqui?

Basically asking a foreigner new to one's country there period of time since arrival

Ciao

gracias cafe for the prompt response- would anyone like to add the source of the verb spelling or tense? - Jon-Dunn, Nov 20, 2011
