你好 Benny? I’m sorry, I’m not coming to Shanghai anytime soon. I wanted to know how to say those phrases.

How long will you be staying?

I’m staying for 2 weeks.

I’m also a little confused about which one is right ri4 li4 or yue4 li4 for the word calendar.

Xie xie!!

Hi Sara,

I am sorry for this misunderstanding.

How long will you be staying in Shanghai? = nǐ dǎ suàn zài Shanghai dāi duō jiǔ?

I’m staying for 2 weeks. = wǒ huì zài zhe li dāi liǎng ge xīng qī

yuè lì and rìlì are both correct for “calendar”
