Nouns don't get capitalized - only names, countries, 'special' places, cities, titles, etc. do. And unlike English, those you mentioned are also not capitalized - August = august, etc. We just don't feel it's necessary to 'highlight' less relevant details, such as days and so. NAME: Chrisa = Chrisa NATIONALITY: Danish = dansk PLACE: Denmark - Copehagen = Danmark - København DAYS: Monday - Tuesday = mandag - tirsdag MONTHS: January = januar
