I want to write this sentence in MSA:
I have lived in this country for a long time and I know it well.
My question is if I use the word بلد for country, do I still use the feminine pronouns, etc? (I believe countries are feminine). So I understand when using the name of a country or a feminine word such as دولة , but what about if I use بلد ?
My attempt:
سكنتُ في هذا / هذه البلد وقت طويل و أعرفها جيدا
شكرا
