"Per oltre un decennio"

[matt.kalebic]

Could you also say "Per piu di un decennio"?

[GuerraAmanda]

"for more than a decade"?

What's wrong with "longer" than

[Akura18]

Ok but I'm Italian and I didn't understand immediately the word "decennio"... I heard it three times before I understood-!

[FelicityMc10]

I believe that a decade is ten years. What is the problem.

[Che-Figata]

They're asking for the word "decade", not its definition.

[CharleenCo1]

"For more than a decade" may be a response to a question, but I would never consider this a sentence on its own.
