Cultural Tip
In French, you can also say "quinze jours" (fifteen days) instead of "deux semaines". The latter sounds a bit more formal and is common in written communication, while "quinze jours" is often used in everyday speech. Adding "pendant" (e.g., "pendant deux semaines") is optional but can make the sentence feel slightly more explicit.
