### Words that say *when* and *how long*

These adverbs sit where **ikke** sits: right after the verb that carries the tense.

{{item:1194048}}

{{item:1194045}}

| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| **{{item:1194043}}** | again |
| **{{item:1194047}}** | still (it has not stopped) |
| **{{item:1194051}}** | yet (with *ikke*) |
| **{{item:1194055}}** | first |
| **{{item:1194058}}** | for a long time |

### Stadig or endnu?

**Stadig** says something is still going on. **Endnu** is the word for *yet*: **ikke endnu**, *not yet*.

{{item:1194052}}

{{item:1194050}}

### First, and then

**Først** at the front of the sentence works like *i dag* or *så*: the verb comes next, before the subject.

{{item:1194056}}

### Asking how long

**{{item:1194061}}** asks about time; **længe** on its own answers it.

{{item:1194062}}

{{item:1194060}}

### Now, soon, once

**{{item:1194073}}** is *right now*; **{{item:1194067}}** and **{{item:1194070}}** mean *at once*. **{{item:1194064}}** looks far back or far ahead, and **{{item:1194079}}** is *once in a while*. The day before yesterday is **{{item:1194076}}**, and **{{item:1194082}}** is *the time* — *Har du tid?*, *Do you have time?*
