ago/for (in time expressions)
Hi
Please, how can I say, “I met her three years ago” and “I have known her for three years,” please?
These are basically two different ways of expressing the same idea.
Best Wishes and Many Thanks,
Simon

Are you actually learning Tagalog or just want translations?

1.Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas mula noong nakilala ko siya. (Would be awkward in an actual conversation).
2. Tatlong taon ko na siyang kilala.

I agree with PinoyTaj. If you're goal is conversation, the first one PinoyTaj gave is too formal and mostly for literary use. It is awkward to hear in conversations. The second one PinoyTaj gave sounds better for conversations. 🙂🙂
