"Eu sunt așa de la începutul războiului."

Translation: I am like this from the start of the war.

[PaulMinden]

I suspect that "I've been like this since the start of the war" should be the answer.

[Monica684041]

SINCE the start ... or SINCE the beginning ...

[Leo-Io]

" I've been like this since the beginning of the war"

[Chris265302]

I agree that "I am like this SINCE the start of the war is better.

[Lng52-._]

As a preposition, I think "de cand" means "since".

[WarsawWill]

As a conjunction, certainly, "De când ai plecat" - "Since you've gone"

But as a preposition, we often use 'since" for "de", as in the context of DL's sentence (more natural than "from"). For example:

"I've been here since Wednesday"
- Sunt aici de miercuri

[houdmoed]

..at the start? Not possible?

[WarsawWill]

Literally it would be "from at the start of the war", But we don't say that in English.
