"The restaurant was being filled with people when it became evening."

Translation: Restauranten fyldtes med mennesker da det blev aften.

[BarbaraSta4]

This sentence is awkward in English.

Yeah....it actually says that the restaurant became evening - as in, the restaurant turned into evening.

I really hoped I would have 'got it' by this late stage in the course, but apparently not. Why is it det, not den? Restaurant is common, as is aften, so why the neuter-form 'it'?

[ycUvuSap]

It is a formal subject, like in the English "It is raining.". Det it used as the formal subject.

Danglish!
