Example 1: Ne kadar zamandır gebesin?
Example 2: Ne kadar süre yüzebiliriz?
Example 3: İtalya´da ne kadar kalacaksınız? [zaman/süre not needed in this case?]
Question: When exactly does one use (n)either of them?
Zaman and Vakit are same --> Time
Süre is more specific ,it is believed that this word is derived of a turkish verb stem "sür". To operate. To operate a horse, as we know that Turks were nomad in Middle Asia and they were always operating their horses , I mean riding the horses. For example; to operate a horse ---> at sürmek . So, after it took the suffix ´a [e]´ and it changed into a noun süre which as a noun referred as "the period of time of operating an event. [operating the horse in those times] but at present time anything" DURATION
In other words, the period of time from its starting point and its finish point which is duration.
Ne kadar zamandır ----> For how long ? [asking how long as in time ]
Ne kadar vakittir ----> Same
=======================================================
Example 1: Ne kadar zamandır gebesin? ---> Since how long have you been pregnant ?
Example 2: Ne kadar süre yüzebiliriz? ---> How long can we swim ?
in other words, how long we would be able to swim , how long could we swim , how long time will pass between from our starting time and our finishing time ?
Example 3: İtalya´da ne kadar kalacaksınız? [zaman/süre not needed in this case?] ---> NO , zaman or süre is not needed.
Question: When exactly does one use (n)either of them?
