Questions & Answers about Hvem besøger du i januar og februar?
Why aren't januar and februar capitalized?
In Danish, the names of the months, days of the week, and seasons are always written with lowercase letters, unlike in English. You only capitalize them if they are the very first word in a sentence.
Which word do we use for "in" when talking about months?
You use the preposition i. To say "in January", you simply say i januar. This matches how we say it in English.
Why is the verb besøger before the subject du?
Danish uses the V2 rule, meaning the verb is almost always the second idea in a sentence. Because the question word Hvem takes the first spot, the verb besøger must come next, pushing the subject du to the third spot.
Does Hvem mean "who" or "whom" here?
It translates to both! Danish uses Hvem whether you are asking about the person doing the action or the person receiving it. In this sentence, du is the subject, so you are asking who is receiving the visit.
