Questions & Answers about Hvad laver I i april og maj?
Why aren't april and maj capitalized?
In Danish, the names of the months are always written with lowercase letters, unlike in English. You only capitalize them if they happen to be the very first word of a sentence.
Is i the standard word to use before months?
Yes! Just like English uses "in", Danish uses the preposition i before months. So "in April and May" translates directly to i april og maj.
Why is the letter I capitalized in the middle of the sentence?
I is the Danish word for "you" when you are talking to more than one person (plural "you" or "you all"). It is always capitalized. In this sentence, that rule is especially helpful because it makes it easy to tell the pronoun I (you) apart from the preposition i (in) right next to it!
Why does the sentence use laver for "doing" instead of gør?
While both verbs can translate to "do", they are used in different situations. Laver is used when asking about concrete activities, tasks, or plans (like "What are you up to?"). Gør is used for more abstract actions. When asking people what they are doing during a specific month or weekend, you will almost always use laver.
