Where — for a place and a time
After a word for a place, hvor starts a relative clause, just like som and der:
| That is the place where I live. | Det er stedet hvor jeg bor. |
| Do you know a place where you can eat? | Kender du et sted hvor man kan spise? |
Danish also uses hvor after a word for a time — where English says when:
| I remember the day when we met. | Jeg husker den dag hvor vi mødtes. |
| At the moment when he came, it began to rain. | I det øjeblik hvor han kom, begyndte det at regne. |
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| stedet | the place |
| gangen | the time (occasion) |
| øjeblikket | the moment |
Gang
Gang counts occasions: første gang, næste gang, en gang. I øjeblikket means at the moment:
| It was the first time I was in Denmark. | Det var første gang jeg var i Danmark. |
| He is not at home at the moment. | Han er ikke hjemme i øjeblikket. |
