Completing Actions in a Timeframe
To express how long it takes to complete a specific action, use the preposition på (in). It indicates the total time required to finish a task.
| They assembled the jigsaw puzzle in twenty seconds. | De samlede puslespillet på tyve sekunder. |
| You can read through the text in forty seconds. | Du kan gennemlæse teksten på fyrre sekunder. |
| I read through the document in an hour. | Jeg gennemlæste dokumentet på en time. |
Talking About Pace and Efficiency
When discussing efficiency, you will often use nouns like tempoet (the pace) and hastigheden (the speed). These pair naturally with verbs like færdiggøre (to complete) or klare (to handle or manage) to describe getting something done within a set time.
| At that pace, we complete the work in an hour. | I det tempo færdiggør vi arbejdet på en time. |
| He changes the speed and completes the process in ten minutes. | Han skifter hastigheden og færdiggør processen på ti minutter. |
| The woman manages the preparation in three days because the pace is high. | Kvinden klarer forberedelsen på tre dage fordi tempoet er højt. |
