How to say this in Japanese...?

Question:


How do you say "I have known _______ for _____ years." in Japanese?

Help is much appreciated~ ^^

Answer:


Regarding additional details:


"I have known him for five years today."


彼と知り合ってから、今日で5年が経ちます。

かれとしりあってから、きょうでごねんがたちます。

Kare to shiriatte kara, kyou de gonen ga tachimasu.


I have translated the sentence quite naturally.
This kind of natural Japanese will never turn up in Google Translate...

On a separate note: There are some mistakes, presumably typos in the answer provided by Tramp Dole.
