  1. Yes!!

    Ofcourse!!...


  2. i guess the mistake is in arisen. it is better to use caused by.

  3. try-- nostalgia that arose by...

    It sounds much better.

  4. **The verb is correct, the sentence is awkward.   How about

    :"Have you recovered from the conclusion of the Olympics?"  or "Have you recovered from the Final Ceremonies of the Olympics?"

  5. I don't think the word's "arisen" and "by" go hand in hand...

    I'd suggest saying "Have you overcome the nostalgia caused by the end of the Olympics?" :]

    Good luck.

  6. Not really.  Arisen isn't the right word here. "caused" might be a better choice

  7. Arise is not a transitive verb, so it doesn't really fit here. Without changing the rest of your sentence, you could substitute 'arisen by' by:

    occasioned by

    brought about by

    resulting from


  8. Arisen, is used in old bible text, but is not used today in a sentence. And your sentence would be treated with amusement if spoken in England today. Have a great day.  

  9. Arisen doesn't fit here, possibly a better word would be caused.

    Or you could use the verb arise as so-

    Have you overcome the nostalgia arising from the end of the Olympics?

    I think this works.
