Heat and cold
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| varmen | the heat, the warmth |
| frosten | the frost |
| lynet | the lightning |
Varme is the noun of varm, and it covers both pleasant warmth and unpleasant heat. Like most weather nouns it is usually uncountable:
| The plants need warmth and water. | Planterne har brug for varme og vand. |
The verb lyne (det lyner) works like det regner and det sner — the dummy subject det does the job:
| When there is lightning, we go inside. | Når det lyner, går vi indenfor. |
Døgn — a day you do not have in English
døgnet is a full 24-hour period, day and night together. Dag can mean the daytime (om dagen) or a calendar day (om tre dage); døgn is the word when you stress all 24 hours. Hele døgnet means around the clock:
| The shop is open around the clock. | Butikken har åbent hele døgnet. |
Midten
You already know midt i (in the middle of). The noun is midten, usually followed by af:
| The middle of the garden is full of flowers. | Midten af haven er fuld af blomster. |
