Signs on the door
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| indgangen | the entrance (the sign says Indgang) |
| udgangen | the exit (the sign says Udgang) |
| elevatoren | the elevator, the lift |
They are built from ind (in) and ud (out) plus gang, "a passage". You go ind through the indgang and ud through the udgang:
| Where is the entrance? | Hvor er indgangen? |
| The exit is on the left. | Udgangen er til venstre. |
| The elevator is broken, so we have to take the stairs. | Elevatoren er i stykker, så vi må tage trappen. |
Opening hours
midnatten is midnight, klokken tolv om natten. In times and opening hours it takes no article: til midnat (until midnight), efter midnat (after midnight). Shops and bars put their hours on the door the same way.
| The shop is open until midnight. | Butikken har åbent til midnat. |
| We came home after midnight. | Vi kom hjem efter midnat. |
Per
per is "per" or "for each". On price lists it is usually written pr.: pr. kilo. The noun after it is usually singular, with no article:
| The ticket costs fifty kroner per child. | Billetten koster halvtreds kroner per barn. |
| It costs a hundred kroner per day to rent a bike. | Det koster hundrede kroner per dag at leje en cykel. |
Plus
plus adds, in sums and on bills. In a sum, er gives the result:
| Two plus two is four. | To plus to er fire. |
On a bill, it adds an extra cost to the price:
| It costs a hundred kroner plus ten kroner for the bag. | Det koster hundrede kroner plus ti kroner for posen. |
