Hi,
I was doing lesson 5.11 Adverbs (Part 2) and come across "Da quando" which has the english translation of "How long". I was a bit confused by this at first because quando means when and also thought da quanto meant how long, as in da quanto tempo.
Then I remembered reading something where da quando meant since when. So I looked it up in the dictionary and a translator and they also have da quando meaning since when or since. For example:
Da quando sono nato = Since (when) I was born .
Is the 5.11 Adverbs (Part 2) correct because da quando has two meanings or should da quando have the english translation of since when ?
Regards,
Mark

Abita lì da quando era piccola = She has lived there since (when) she was a child
