This Morning: "i morges"
To say "this morning" about a morning that has already passed, use i morges. Because it refers to the past, it pairs with past tense verbs and typically sits at the end of the sentence.
| The sunrise was astonishing this morning. | Solopgangen var forbløffende i morges. |
| We were going to see the sunrise this morning, but it was too chilly. | Vi ville se solopgangen i morges, men det var alt for køligt. |
Last Night: "i aftes"
To talk about yesterday evening or last night, use i aftes. Like i morges, it describes recent past events and goes at the end of the clause.
| It was rather chilly last night, so I slept astonishingly well. | Det var ret køligt i aftes, så jeg sov forbløffende godt. |
| We saw a shooting star last night, and it was unforgettable! | Vi så et stjerneskud i aftes, og det var uforglemmeligt! |
Time Phrases in Complex Sentences
When a sentence has multiple clauses, the time phrase stays inside the specific clause whose action it describes, usually at the end.
| I recall that the sunset was unforgettable last night. | Jeg mindes at solnedgangen var uforglemmelig i aftes. |
| The man was very tired this morning because the night's sleep was short. | Manden var meget træt i morges fordi nattesøvnen var kort. |
