D-DAY

Hi,

No.

Clive

Thanks for replying.Could you please tell me that what occasions we can use the word D-day for?

D-day can be used by military men to call the day when some military operatons will start.
And D-day also is a historical date (06.06.1944)
This is written in my refence book

Thanks alot.It means that d-day's use is very limited.! like people refer it for some one's wedding day,as:

"she is preparing for her d-day."

how can we use it in a sentence for militents could you plz give me an example?

I don't know I've just translated the article from my electronic reference book. Maybe it could be used when you're talking about the day which was planned before?

Hi,

You can use D-Day in a figurative sense. The idea is that you are embarking on some important and risky activity for which the outcome is uncertain.

A birthday does not sound like this. I suppose a wedding might, depending on how each partner feels about the idea of getting married.

Thanks Clive,so kind of you.Your explanation is really helpful now and d-day is somewat clear to me now as a risky or uncertain thing

I'd like to give one more opinion.

D-Day, H-Hour... they are certainly borrowered from the military, but they can apply to any situation that requires a lot of advance planning. While the most famous D-Day was part of WWII, it's not "the" D-Day, but it was simply "a" D-Day.

For example, if you are preparing for a big software implementation, it wouldn't sound unusual to me to hea

What if we use d-day for the 60th independence day of a country or not necessarily 60th (it could be country's 1st or 2nd independence day),and ,the people of that country are going to celebrate it with great warmth??can we use d-day in this sense ???

Hi,

No. Where's the risk and uncertainty?
