Past Days: "Last" Weekday
To talk about a day in the past (like "last Tuesday"), use the preposition i followed by the weekday ending in -s.
Because this refers to a completed event, use it with verbs in the past tense.
| Last Tuesday we discussed the report. | I tirsdags diskuterede vi rapporten. |
| Did he play in the tournament last Monday? | Spillede han i turneringen i mandags? |
Future Days: "Next" Weekday
To talk about a day in the future (like "next Tuesday"), use the preposition på followed by the bare weekday.
Notice there is no -s ending here! This pairs with the present tense (which often acts as the future in Danish) or a future construction.
| Next Tuesday they will discuss the presentation. | På tirsdag diskuterer de præsentationen. |
| What time does the tournament start next Monday? | Hvad tid begynder turneringen på mandag? |
Side-by-Side Comparison
Pay close attention to the difference between i [weekday]-s (past) and på [weekday] (future).
Compare a past overnight stay versus an upcoming one:
| My daughter stayed overnight in the club last Friday. | Min datter overnattede i klubben i fredags. |
| Next Friday my grandchild will stay overnight here. | På fredag overnatter mit barnebarn her. |
