I want to tell my friend that he can stay at my house as long as he wants.

I was thinking:

> 泊まるのは何ヶ日でもいいです。

or

> 泊まりたい程泊まってもいいです。

What is the correct way?

question
translation sentence
How can you express "as long as you want"?
To choose between the two sentences, the first one is much better by the
native standards. However, 「何ヶ日」 sounds very awkward. 「[何日]{なんにち}」 is the
correct word. You can also say 「[何ヶ月]{なんかげつ}」 if you guys are talking long-
term, but not 「何ヶ日」, which is probably why I, a native speaker, do not know
how to read it.

Your second sentence is incorrect because of the use of 「[程]{ほど}」. Replace it
with 「だけ」 and you will have a correct sentence.

answer
Both of those work with a little fixing.

何日でも泊まってもいい

泊まりたいだけ泊まってもいい

or

好きなだけ泊まってもいい

Hell, throw it all together and you can sound like a super welcoming friend
lol.

> 何日でも好きなだけ泊まってくれ！
