Questions
Do all seven days end in -dag?
Yes, unlike German where Mittwoch breaks the pattern. Dutch kept woensdag, Wodan's day, so the -dag ending runs the whole way from maandag to zondag.
Is morgen tomorrow or morning?
On its own, tomorrow. As part of goedemorgen or morgenochtend it is the morning. Dutch does not capitalise nouns, so unlike German there is no capital to tell you which one you are looking at.
