Questions & Answers about Jeg vågner klokken seks og står op klokken syv.
What is the difference between vågner and står op?
Vågner means to wake up and open your eyes, while står op means to actually get out of bed.
Why do we use klokken before the numbers?
Klokken literally means 'the clock'. In Danish, you use it before a number to express 'o'clock'. So klokken seks is 'six o'clock'.
Why is there no jeg before står op?
Just like in English, if the same person is doing both actions, you don't need to repeat the subject. You can simply link the two actions with og (and).
Does står op literally mean 'stand up'?
Yes, the verb står means 'stand' and op means 'up'. While it literally translates to 'stand up', it is the standard Danish expression for getting out of bed in the morning.
