To describe the exact size, age, or amount of something, Danish uses the preposition på where English uses "of" (such as "a length of 90 centimeters").
The structure is simply Noun + på + Quantity:
| Does the customer have a waist of eighty centimeters? | Har kunden en talje på firs centimeter? |
| The coat gets a length of exactly ninety centimeters. | Frakken får en længde på præcis halvfems centimeter. |
This construction works for any attribute of measurement, including width (bredde), circumference (omkreds), or an inseam (skridtlængde):
| If you want a width of twenty centimeters, we will change the design. | Vil du have en bredde på tyve centimeter, ændrer vi designet. |
| I would like to sew a collar with a circumference of thirty-five centimeters. | Jeg vil gerne sy en krave med en omkreds på femogtredive centimeter. |
| The trousers have an inseam of ninety centimeters. | Bukserne har en skridtlængde på halvfems centimeter. |
