Usage notes

Collocations

‘多年来’ usually occurs at the beginning of a sentence, often followed by a comma, to set a time frame for the main clause.

Common mistakes

Learners may overuse ‘多年来’ as a general time phrase; it specifically refers to a period of many years up to the present, not just any long past period.
