På kontoret har vi flest møder om mandagen og færrest om fredagen.

Because Danish uses V2 word order in main clauses: the finite verb must come in the second position.

So if you begin with an adverbial phrase like På kontoret (At the office / In the office), the verb comes next:

• På kontoret har vi ...
• literally: At the office have we ...

If the sentence started with the subject, it would be:

• Vi har flest møder på kontoret om mandagen ...

That is also grammatical, but it changes the emphasis. Starting with På kontoret highlights the location first.

For the same V2 reason. In Danish main clauses, the verb comes second.

So when På kontoret takes the first position, the verb must come immediately after it, and the subject moves after the verb:

• På kontoret = first element
• har = second element
• vi = subject after the verb

This is very common in Danish:

• I dag går jeg tidligt hjem.
• Om sommeren rejser de meget.

English usually keeps subject + verb order, but Danish changes the order much more regularly.

På kontoret means at the office or in the office, depending on context.

• kontor = office
• kontoret = the office

The preposition på is often used in Danish where English might use at or in. You should usually learn these as fixed combinations:

• på kontoret = at the office
• på arbejde = at work
• på skolen = at the school / in school-related context

So even though på often means on, here it does not translate literally as on the office.

Because -et is the definite article attached to the noun.

• et kontor = an office
• kontoret = the office

Danish usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun rather than using a separate word like the.

So:

• et møde = a meeting
• mødet = the meeting
• et kontor = an office
• kontoret = the office

Flest means the most when talking about a countable plural noun.

Here:

• flest møder = the most meetings

It comes from mange (many):

• mange = many
• flere = more
• flest = most

Examples:

• Vi har mange møder. = We have many meetings.
• Vi har flere møder i år. = We have more meetings this year.
• Vi har flest møder om mandagen. = We have the most meetings on Mondays.

Færrest means the fewest.

It is the superlative form related to få (few):

• få = few
• færre = fewer
• færrest = fewest

So:

• færrest om fredagen means the fewest on Fridays
• understood fully: the fewest meetings on Fridays

This is parallel to flest:

• flest møder = most meetings
• færrest møder = fewest meetings

It could be repeated, but Danish often leaves it out when it is understood from the first part.

Full version:

• På kontoret har vi flest møder om mandagen og færrest møder om fredagen.

More natural, less repetitive version:

• På kontoret har vi flest møder om mandagen og færrest om fredagen.

English does the same:

• We have the most meetings on Monday and the fewest on Friday.

So after færrest, møder is simply understood.

Because the sentence is talking about meetings in general, in the plural.

• et møde = a meeting
• møder = meetings

After flest and færrest, you normally use a plural countable noun if you are talking about countable things:

• flest møder = most meetings
• færrest møder = fewest meetings

Both patterns exist in Danish, but they are used a bit differently.

om mandagen / om fredagen

This usually means on Mondays / on Fridays, or as a general recurring time.

So in your sentence:

• om mandagen = on Mondays / on Monday in general
• om fredagen = on Fridays / on Friday in general

mandag / fredag

This is more often used for a specific upcoming day, especially without om:

• Vi ses mandag. = See you Monday.
• Jeg arbejder fredag. = I’m working Friday.

So here, the -en form helps express a habitual pattern: Monday is the day with the most meetings, Friday the day with the fewest.

Here om is a preposition used with time expressions.

With days of the week, om often means on:

• om mandagen = on Mondays
• om tirsdagen = on Tuesdays
• om fredagen = on Fridays

This use is especially common when talking about repeated habits or general truths.

Be careful: om has several meanings in Danish depending on context, including about, around, and in certain time expressions. But here it is the time preposition meaning on.

The ending -en is the definite ending for many common-gender nouns, and weekday names can take this form in expressions like om mandagen.

• mandag = Monday
• mandagen = the Monday / Monday in a general recurring sense
• fredag = Friday
• fredagen = the Friday / Friday in a general recurring sense

In this specific pattern, the definite form does not always sound as definite in English as the Monday. Instead, it often expresses a general repeated time:

• om mandagen ≈ on Mondays
• om fredagen ≈ on Fridays

So it is best to learn om + weekday + definite ending as a common time expression.

Not as naturally in this meaning.

Without om and the definite weekday forms, it sounds less like a regular pattern and more like a reduced or more informal time expression. The original sentence is better for expressing a general habit:

• om mandagen = on Mondays, generally
• om fredagen = on Fridays, generally

If you mean a recurring pattern, the original is the most natural choice.

Yes. Og simply means and.

It links the two parallel parts:

• flest møder om mandagen
• færrest om fredagen

Danish often builds very neat parallel structures like this, where the second part leaves out repeated words.

Not perfectly. A word-for-word version would be something like:

• At the office have we most meetings on the Monday and fewest on the Friday

That is not natural English.

A good natural translation is:

• At the office, we have the most meetings on Mondays and the fewest on Fridays.

So to understand the Danish well, it helps to notice:

• Danish main clause word order is different
• om mandagen / om fredagen expresses a habitual time
• flest / færrest mean most / fewest
• Danish often omits repeated nouns when the meaning is clear
