001) Can we also say, "I have lived here many times?"02br
00Taking your suggestion, by using the present perfect continuous, the person is still living here and has lived here for a continuous period of time. 02br
00However, if he lived in that place on and off- say when he's vacationing- can he say, "I have lived here man

01) In that case, I think yes, you can say "I (have) lived there (for) many times".02br
02br
002) In fact, I started writing the correction with "nowadays" but then changed it into "today" again. I think both are okay. What about commas, I'm not very good at punctuation marks, and, to get the correct answer, I suggest that you wait for a more proficient speaker. 02br

0I have lived there many times sounds weird because when "live" somewhere, you are there for a long time.02br
02br
00People don't often live in one place, go away, come back to live there again, go away, come back, etc.02br
02br
00If you are referring to a hotel that you STAYED at many times, this makes more sense.0-
