I foråret kommer blomsterne frem i haven.

Because Danish often puts a time expression first when it wants to set the scene: In spring, ...

This changes the word order. In Danish main clauses, the finite verb normally has to be in second position, so after I foråret, the verb kommer comes next:

• I foråret kommer blomsterne frem i haven.

A more neutral order is also possible:

• Blomsterne kommer frem i haven i foråret.

Foråret is the definite form of forår:

• forår = spring
• foråret = the spring

In Danish, seasons are very often used in the definite form in expressions like i foråret, om sommeren, i vinteren in some contexts, etc. So i foråret is the normal way to say in spring / in the spring here.

This is a basic Danish word-order rule called V2: in a main clause, the finite verb usually comes second.

So when the sentence starts with I foråret, that counts as the first element, and the verb must come next:

• I foråret
  • kommer
    • blomsterne ...

If the subject came first, the order would be:

• Blomsterne kommer frem i haven i foråret.

Because blomsterne means the flowers, while blomster just means flowers.

The ending -ne marks the definite plural:

• en blomst = a flower
• blomster = flowers
• blomsterne = the flowers

In this sentence, Danish uses the definite form because it is talking about the flowers as the visible, expected flowers in the garden, not just flowers in general as an abstract category.

In Danish, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word before it.

So:

• haven = the garden
• blomsterne = the flowers

This is very common in Danish:

• en have = a garden
• haven = the garden

Here frem means something like forth, out, or into view.

So komme frem is a very natural Danish expression meaning:

• come out
• appear
• emerge
• sometimes sprout up, depending on context

With flowers, it suggests that they start becoming visible in the garden.

Not in the simple English sense of moving toward the speaker.

In kommer frem, the meaning is more like emerge or appear. So the sentence is not really about flowers traveling; it is about flowers showing up in spring.

That is why translating word-for-word can be misleading here.

Yes, that is also possible, but the nuance is a little different.

• i foråret = in the spring / during the spring
• om foråret = often in spring / every spring, with a more habitual or general meaning

So:

• I foråret kommer blomsterne frem i haven can sound like a statement about what happens in the spring season.
• Om foråret kommer blomsterne frem i haven often sounds more like a general seasonal pattern.

Because Danish uses i for being in an area or enclosed space, and a garden is treated as a space you are in.

So:

• i haven = in the garden

Also, haven is the definite form:

• have = garden
• haven = the garden

A straightforward version would be:

Blomsterne kommer frem i haven i foråret.

That may feel more familiar to an English speaker because it starts with the subject. The original sentence puts I foråret first to emphasize the time frame.
