What does the abbreviation "ca." in Danish mean? Hello. I found the abbreviation "ca." written in a historical context and would like to learn the full Danish word(s) it represents. Tak.

'ca.' is the abbreviation of 'cirka' meaning 'about, approximately'.

And it is not only used to indicate a date but anything, mostly with numbers. En flaske vand koster ca. 10 kr. Bordet er ca. 1,5 m (meter) langt Vi ses ca. kl. (klokken) 12

Phil: You are totally right :) Bruce: It spells "cirka" but mostly we use "ca."

Hi, Phil. It's from a long sentence but a fragment of it is "...for ca. 14.000 år siden..." There's little doubt that "ca." is used here as we would use it in written English. I am hoping to find out the Danish spelling, which could be circa, cirka, or something else. Thanks.
