How do I say.....?

[Arese]

If I've known person 1 for ten years, person 2 for five years, person 3 for thirty years. How do I say, "I've known them *** for 45 years". Not consecutively, not totalling... Wharrisit?!

Working on my bridegroom speech!

I think that would mean that I'd known them one after the other, wouldn't it?

Correct. Collectively was the right answer.

But I don't know them, so I would say I know of them, and indirectly, through the OP.

Pretty sure it is 'carnal' that you want to use, "I have known them all carnally for 45 years". Use that, hope it goes well
