"I slept for nine hours."

Translation: Saya tidur sembilan jam.

[Bratsche2]

Why selama?

[Ceri947554]

It is the word 'for' before a time

I tried “Saya sudah tidur selama sembilan jam.” It was incorrect. I thought ‘sudah’ to indicate past tense, and while not strictly necessary is it wrong per say? Or does my sentence mean something different? Thanks, Indon gurus!
