Questions & Answers about Når først købsdatoen er fundet, ved kunden, at reklamationsretten gælder.

What does Når først mean here, and why is først included?

Når først is a very common Danish pattern meaning something like once or when ... has been established.

når = when
først adds the sense of once / once it has finally been done

So Når først købsdatoen er fundet is not just a neutral when the purchase date is found, but more like:

once the purchase date has been found
once the purchase date is known

Here, først does not literally mean first in the usual English sequence sense. It adds emphasis that this first condition must be met before the next thing follows.

Why is it købsdatoen and not købsdato?
