My jacket has been hanging outside on the balcony since yesterday, but it’s nowhere near dry yet. Min jakke har hængt ude på altanen siden i går, men den er slet ikke tør endnu. I dare not believe that Denmark will win the World Cup.ĭu får den her chance kun én gang. Jeg tør slet ikke tro på, at Danmark vinder VM. My favourite tør expression, though, is at falde på et tørt sted (“to fall on a dry place”), meaning to receive something that was sorely needed. Someone who is tør bag ørerne is older, wiser and experienced. At løbe tør (literally “to run dry”) means to run out of something, while to be tør bag ørerne (“dry behind the ears”) means the opposite to the English “wet behind the ears”. Tør is also used in a lot of idioms and experessions - too many to list here in fact. Whereas if it is tør, it is completely dry. Although Sankt Hans Aften is traditionally seen as the peak of summer, Denmark’s climate often sees to it ending up a very wet affair.Īs well as being another example of a Danish homonym, like bakke, tør is interesting both because it has several meanings, can be two different verbs in different combinations, and because two of its meanings come close to being antonyms.Īt tørre af, to wipe clean, technically means making something wet (at least briefly and on the surface), because you’ll be using a damp cloth to do so. The chances of a glorious long red summer sunset or a grey, damp squib are probably about even.

The celebration usually includes a speech by a prominent local figure, the lighting of the bonfire and an atmospheric rendition in chorus of the song Midsommervisen. The traditional bonfires and singing in chorus on June 23rd are a community event valued by many across the country, with thousands of Sankt Hans bonfires taking place everywhere from small parks to nationally recognisable locations like the Tivoli amusement park in Copenhagen or Aarhus University Park. While those rowdy scenes are not replicated in Denmark, the calendar milestone is closely linked to the Danish celebration of Sankt Hans Aften on June 23rd.Ī celebration marking the shortest night of the year, Sankt Hans night is infused with customs that harken back to darker and more superstitious times in Denmark’s history. Midsummer is a huge annual event in Denmark’s close neighbour Sweden, where it is celebrated with maypole frog dancing, drinking snaps and cream cakes.
