Questions & Answers about Vi taler om dagen med andre i stuen.

Why is "om dagen" used here instead of something like "i løbet af dagen"?

"Om dagen" can mean during the day or about the day more generally. It's a common phrase to indicate a general timeframe or topic, whereas "i løbet af dagen" is more specifically throughout the day. So "om dagen" often sounds more natural if you want to emphasize the general discussion or period rather than the ongoing process.

Could "om dagen" also mean "about the day"?

Yes, "om dagen" can be interpreted as about the day if the context is that you're talking about the day itself (its events, plans, etc.). Otherwise, it more commonly translates to during the day. Context will clarify which meaning is intended.

What is the role of "med andre" in this sentence?

"Med andre" means with others. It tells you that the talking is happening in the company of other people. Without those words, you lose the detail about who else is involved in the conversation.

Why is "i stuen" placed at the end?

In Danish, it's quite normal to place a location or other adverbials at the end of the sentence. "Vi taler om dagen med andre i stuen" literally ends with in the living room to show where the action occurs. Word order can be flexible, but this structure is common and sounds natural.

Can I replace "taler" with "snakker"?

Yes, you can often use "snakker" (to chat or talk in a more informal way). "Taler" and "snakker" are generally synonyms, but "taler" can sometimes sound a bit more formal. So "Vi snakker om dagen med andre i stuen" would also be acceptable in casual speech.
