"Han mærkede vinden den anden dag."

Translation: He felt the wind the other day.

[londoncallling]

Does this mean 'the other day,' as in a few days ago, or 'the second day', as in on the second day of his holiday or whatever?

[adcoon]

If it was "the second day" you'd normally say "på den anden dag" or "på andendagen" instead, so in this case it more naturally means "a few days ago"

[miacomet]

It could be either.

[etrlandex]

"den anden dag" in the meaning of a few says ago could also be expressed with the Word "forleden" as in "han mødte sin tidligere lærer forleden".

[PatrickDaSilva]

I will totally use this sentence in the future

[KyleJDahl]

What, no comments about ducks?

[ElakVarg]

Is "feeling the wind" an idiom?

[astonjam]

Farting euphemism?

[adampiasek]

They should also accept "The next day", as this would be the correct translation in English for this particular case.
