Questions & Answers about De dosis is één pil per dag.
This lesson is about frequency phrases like om de. What is the difference between per dag and om de dag?
Per dag means "per day" or "every day." The phrase om de dag, on the other hand, means "every other day" (skipping a day in between). If the patient needs to take the medication daily, you must use per dag or elke dag, because om de dag would mean they only take it half as often!
Why are there accent marks on één?
The accent marks show that you mean the number "one" rather than the word for "a" or "an" (which is spelled een without accents). This distinction is important for pronunciation, too: the article een has a short "uh" sound, while the number één has a long "ay" sound.
Can I use per with other time words, just like in English?
Yes, per works exactly the same way it does in English to describe frequency or rates. You can easily say per week (per week), per maand (per month), per jaar (per year), or even per persoon (per person).
