How often does Japanese use present perfect tense? My friend has been asking
to watch a Japanese anime movie called 風たちぬ, this is the first time I have
ever seen this 'nu' particle usage. Before I only have encountered the 'nu' as
in 待たぬ for negative sentences. It seems the meaning of the title is 'The wind
has risen'. Is it normal to say that in daily life? If not, what is the normal
way to say it? would it be 風をもう立った？

There isn't a present perfect tense in Japanese (persay) [There is a
discussion about it
here](http://thejapanesepage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13715)

Not normal, sounds like old Japanese

> If not, what is the normal way to say it?

[風]{かぜ}が[出]{で}てきた
