Questions & Answers about Fredag aften? Det passer mig fint.

Why is it Fredag aften and not something like på fredag aften?

In Danish, time expressions like mandag morgen, fredag aften, i morgen, and næste uge often appear without a preposition.

So Fredag aften? simply means Friday evening? as a suggested time.

You can sometimes use a preposition in other structures, but in a short suggestion like this, Fredag aften? is the natural choice.

Examples:

• Mandag? = Monday?
• I aften? = Tonight?
• Fredag aften? = Friday evening?

Is Fredag aften? a full sentence?

Not really in a formal grammatical sense, but it is a very natural elliptical question in conversation.

It works like English:

• Friday evening?
• How about Friday evening?
• Friday night?

Danish often leaves out words when the meaning is obvious from the situation.
