How atypical/strange would it be to say für in this sentence?
i.e. Sie leben für achtzehn Monate

Could this sentence be used for talking about someone with a disease, to say they only have eighteen months to live?

You'd say that the same way in German: "Sie haben nur noch 18 Monate zu leben."

No. The English sentence doesn't mean "they reside for eighteen months."

When is it "Monaten"? Is it when we have accusative and dative? And is it a weak noun?
