Questions & Answers about Kurset er på tirsdag.
How do we get kurset from the dictionary word for course?
The base word is kursus, which is an et word (neuter). It is irregular: instead of adding -et to the end of kursus, it drops the -us to become kurset.
Does på tirsdag mean this Tuesday or every Tuesday?
på tirsdag specifically means this coming Tuesday. If the course happens regularly every week, you would use om tirsdagen (on Tuesdays) instead.
Why isn't the 't' in tirsdag capitalized?
Unlike in English, days of the week and months are not capitalized in Danish unless they are the very first word of the sentence.
Is the 'd' in tirsdag pronounced?
No, the 'd' is silent here. The word is pronounced roughly like teers-da.
