"Hver hund har sin dag."

Translation: Every dog has its day.

[MaxMVP]

hun / hund are sometimes totally indistinguishable in such short sentences.

Is this a saying in Norwegian?

[alek_d]

No, but it is in English.

[YannickDeG1]

It's also a good song!

[InbarSimana_dvlf]

And in Hebrew, and Arabic

[pablopublico]

What would it mean? Perhaps something like the Galician "A cada porco, chégalle o seu San Martiño", "To each pig, it comes Saint Martin's day (slaughter day)". Or maybe more like "Everyone gets their fifteen minutes of fame".

[Deliciae]

It's close to the latter, but a little wider in meaning. Here are some dictionary definitions:

• Everyone gets a chance eventually: Don't worry, you'll get chosen for the team. Every dog has its day. You may become famous someday. Every dog has his day.
• Everyone is successful during some period in their life: He'll get that promotion eventually. Every dog has its day.
• Even the lowliest will sometimes come to the fore, as in: They may not listen to me now, but just wait, every dog has its day.

This proverbial saying alludes to the lowly status dogs once held. [Mid-1500s]

[RohanChadw]

Am I missing a gender rule? I got marked wrong for not saying 'her day'?!

[alek_d]

It should work.

[RohanChadw]

I worked out it's his/her/it's and I used 'their' - was definitely confused for a strong minute >.<

[MarkBennett6]

Its (no apostrophe) ;)

[YSk62]

Dette er kanskje ett ordtak på engelsk men på norsk gir det ingen mening

[Morgan1039]

“Every dog has its day” I feel like this is a reference or something I’m missing.

It is like a bon Jovi's song: "santa fe"
