Questions & Answers about Vejret er vådt i februar og marts.
Why aren't februar and marts capitalized like they are in English?
In Danish, the names of the months are always written with lowercase letters (unless they are the very first word of a sentence). The same rule applies to days of the week and seasons!
Do we always use i to say "in" a certain month?
Yes! Just like in English, you use the preposition i (in) right before the month to say when something happens. For example, i februar means "in February".
Why is there a -t at the end of vådt?
The basic dictionary word for "wet" is våd. It gets a -t ending here because it describes vejret (the weather). Vejr is a neuter noun (often called a "t-word"), which you can see from its -et ending. Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe.
Where is the word for "the" in vejret?
In Danish, "the" is usually attached to the end of the noun. The base word is vejr (weather). Because it is a neuter noun, we add -et to the end to make it vejret (the weather).
