Questions & Answers about Når turen er slut, lægger jeg kortet ved siden af navigationen og går ind for at drikke kaffe.
Når means when in the sense of whenever / at the time that.
In this sentence, Når turen er slut means When the trip is over.
A useful contrast is:
- når = when, whenever, as a general or future situation
- da = when, at that time, usually about a specific event in the past
So if you are talking about a routine or a future-like situation, når is natural here.
Turen is the definite form of tur, so it means the trip rather than just a trip / trip.
Danish usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun:
- en tur = a trip
- turen = the trip
So Når turen er slut literally means When the trip is finished / over.
