How would you best translate the sentence "I was studying the whole weekend."? Do you use the verb "å lære seg" or "å studere" in this case?

Depends what kind of studying you were doing.

If you're studying the subject Latin you'd say "Jeg studerer latin"

If you're reading chapter 2-4 as part of your study, or wrote a paper you'd say something along the lines of "Jeg gjorde studiearbeid i helga"

Thank you. I meant the first option :)
