The parts of the day
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| morgenen | the morning |
| eftermiddagen | the afternoon |
| aftenen | the evening |
| natten | the night |
To say in the morning or in the evenings, Danish uses om + the DEFINITE noun:
| I drink coffee in the morning. | Jeg drikker kaffe om morgenen. |
| In the evening we watch a film. | Om aftenen ser vi en film. |
When om aftenen comes first, the verb comes before the subject — the inversion rule you know from i dag.
The meals
morgenmaden (breakfast), frokosten (lunch) and aftensmaden (dinner). With spise the article drops: spise morgenmad, spise frokost.
| We eat lunch at twelve o'clock. | Vi spiser frokost klokken tolv. |
Before and after
før (before) and efter (after) go before a time or an event:
| She comes home after the meeting. | Hun kommer hjem efter mødet. |
| We have to eat before six o'clock. | Vi skal spise før klokken seks. |
And the day after tomorrow is i overmorgen.
