#months
Check out this lesson at danishwithemi.com
In this lesson we will learn about the days of the week, the dates of the month and the months. This lesson is mostly focused on vocabulary. Let’s start with the months:
Months
Notice how similar the months in Danish are to the months in English!
Weekdays
Now for the weekdays:
Fun fact: Some of the weekdays are named after the Norse Mythology in Danish. Here’s a list:
- Mandag - named after the word ‘måne’ which means ‘moon’ in English
- Tirsdag - named after the Norse god Tyr
- Onsdag - named after the Norse god Odin
- Torsdag - named after the Norse god Thor
- Fredag - named after the Norse goddess Frigg
- Lørdag - Derived from the Old Norse word laugardagr with laug meaning ‘bad’ (which translates to ‘shower’ in English) and dagr meaning ‘dag’ (which translates to ‘day’ in English). The day originally meant ‘badedag’ or ‘vaskedag’ (which literally translates to ‘washing day’ in English).
- Søndag - named after the word ‘sol’ which means ‘sun’ in English
Dates
In the following table, each date is written out in words in the Danish translation instead of a number.
The dates are not usually written out like in the table above. Instead it’s usually written with the number, followed by a dot, like in the following examples:
Den 25. februar
Den 1. januar
Example sentences
Min fødselsdag er den 3. august = My birthday is the 3rd of August
Skal vi mødes på mandag? = Should we meet on Monday?
Du har en aftale søndag den 12. maj = You have an agreement on Sunday the 12th of May
Oktober kommer før november = October comes before November
Den 24. december er det juleaften = December 24th is Christmas Eve
Det er nytårsaften den 31. december = It is New Year’s Eve on December 31st
Kan jeg booke en tid på torsdag? = Can I book an appointment on Thursday?
Jeg har ferie i Juli = I have a holiday in July

I saw a picture of you today
and instantly I felt a longing for you
and I don’t know why
I haven’t spoken to you in months,
but every mention of your name
every picture I see scrolling through my feed
makes me miss you
and I don’t know why
You have someone else now
and I shouldn’t feel jealous of her
because I haven’t called you mine in years
but I still feel it
and I don’t know why
No matter how much time passes,
no matter who you see
or who I see
I’ll always answer your calls
and I don’t know why
November
