if I want to say "for many years, I have my phone's sound level set at maximum", then there are two options:
{DIS law', ghoghwIj HablI'vaD wab 'aqroS patlh vIlo'} or {qaStaHvIS DIS law', ghoghwIj HablI'vaD wab 'aqroS patlh vIlo'}
if I understand correctly what was said so far, then at this example the {qaStaHvIS} is unnecessary, right ? we can use it if we want, but it isn't necessary, right ?
No. In this case you need the *qaStaHvIS,* because *DIS law'* is only a time period, not a time stamp. It tells you a duration; it does not pinpoint a moment. You could say *ben law' ghogh HablI'wIj 'aqroS wab patlh vIlo'* but that would mean /many years ago I used my phone's maximum sound level,/ but that doesn't tell us anything about how long you did this. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
