Don't know how to say something that happened often

[Jh]

Hello all,

I ended up at this forum after I was trying to find out some things I'd like to know in English, and I think I'll be posting here more often, unfortunately in the questions section I'm afraid.

I was trying to tell someone, and actually would have used it often if I know the words for it, that something has so very often, that I lost the count. For example, like in a game, when you die often and have done something so many times already.

I was trying to say something like I would in my Mother language (Dutch), but the words I used didn't exist when I looked them up.

I thought of something like "I've just died for the so....", but well, that's where I have to change my line, as I don't know how I'd continue, or how to say it in other nice words. (So I'd often say then "I've just died for so many times that I lost the count", but is there anything else that I could say to tell someone I've just done that for a very lot of times or so ?

I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear, but it's hard to explain when you'd like to know what you don't know

Thank you very much for reading, and thanks in advance for your input.

Hi JH and welcome

You could say something like this:

"I've just died for the umpteenth time."

We use "umpteen" informally to talk about something that is so numerous that you really can't possibly count it. That seems to be a perfect fit for you.

Thank you very much for your reply, and in my situation I use it, it's more that something crashes so often, but I thought that the dying on a game would fit in the situation.

Thanks again, and if I can't use it for something crashing, please let me know
