Questions & Answers about Hvad tid begynder mødet?
Why use Hvad tid here instead of Hvornår?
While both can be used to ask when something happens, Hvad tid specifically asks for a clock time (literally "what time"). You would use Hvornår (when) if you were asking for a day, date, or a more general timeframe.
Why is the verb begynder placed before the subject mødet?
Because this is a question. In Danish question word order, the verb always comes right after the question word or phrase. Here, the phrase Hvad tid is in the first position, so the verb begynder must come next, followed by the subject mødet. Notice that Danish does not use helper words like "does".
How does the word mødet mean "the meeting"?
In Danish, you don't usually put a separate word for "the" in front of a noun. Instead, you attach it to the end. The word for "a meeting" is et møde. To say "the meeting", you take the -t from et and add it to the end, creating mødet.
How do I pronounce the "d" in mødet?
It is pronounced as a "soft d" (blødt d). It sounds somewhat similar to the "th" in the English word "the", but you make the sound with your tongue placed lower in your mouth, resting lightly behind your bottom front teeth.
