i read this somewhere


when talking about time in the past, the equivalent of for is;
den beri or dir if the action is still continuing;
nothing if the action is finished.

mesala;
coktan beri buradayim= ive been here for a long time
bir hatadan beri burada kaliyorlar=they have been staying here for a week
ne zamandir buradasin?=how long have you been here for?
iki gundur yemiyoruz=we havent eaten for two days
iki gun yememdik= we didnt eat for two days
okul iki gun kapaliydi= the scholl was closed for two days

now whether this is correct im not sure

yeap get the wax nice and hot though
