"Be" vs "stay"

[subhajit123]

Are two words "be" and "stay" in the following contexts?

1- Tomorrow i will go to Malaysia. I will be/stay
there for two months.

And suppose, my friends comes to my house after a long time. I say to him "Hi John, welcome. How long will you be/stay here? I want to spend some time with you?" Are both the words interchangeable?

Are the two words "be" and "stay" correct in the following contexts?

1- Tomorrow i will go to Malaysia. I will be/stay there for two months.

They're correct and mean the same thing.

And suppose (no comma) my friend comes to my house after ​I haven't seen him for a long time. I say to him, "Hi John, welcome. How long will you be/stay here? I want to spend some time with you." Are both the words interchangeable?

Yes, but "be" is more natural. Most natural than that:

- "How long will you be staying?"

And the friendliest, most welcoming way to say it is:

- "How long can you stay?"

I hope that helps!

Always capitalize the word ​I.
