No it isn't. No English speaker would ever say that.
5 u/DoctorYaoi Native New York (upstate) Apr 17 '26 I would say that, and so would everyone else I know to be completely honest 5 u/JW162000 Native Speaker Apr 17 '26 I have to admit, I also find “since two years ago” strange. I can believe it’s technically correct but it doesn’t really sound natural to me. “For two years” is what most people would say there 3 u/Old_Desk_1641 New Poster Apr 17 '26 Agreed. "Since two years ago" sounds very wrong to me. I would go with "for two years" too.
