Asking for directions.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Danes are very helpful but value their personal space. When asking for directions, keep it brief and use 'Undskyld'. If you ask for directions, expect to be told how to get there by bike or metro. The city is designed for these modes of transport. In smaller towns, people might be more talkative and offer to drive you if you look very lost, though this is rare. In meetings, 'hvordan kommer vi dertil' is a common way to ask for a concrete action plan.
Use 'Undskyld'
Always start with 'Undskyld' (Excuse me) to sound polite to strangers.
Add 'med bus/tog'
If you want a specific transport method, add it at the end: 'Hvordan kommer jeg dertil med bus?'

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालNo, you wouldn't say 'hvordan kommer jeg til dig' using 'dertil' unless 'dig' (you) is a location. Use 'Hvordan kommer jeg hen til dig?'.
Most Danes speak English, but they will appreciate you trying this phrase first!
'Dertil' is more about the destination point, while 'derhen' is about the direction of travel. They are often interchangeable in this phrase.
For 'jeg', 'du', 'vi', etc., it is always 'kommer' in the present tense.
No, it's neutral. It's the standard word for 'how'.
Yes, metaphorically: 'Hvordan kommer jeg dertil på hjemmesiden?' (How do I get to that part of the website?).
Because 'at gå' means 'to walk'. If you take a bus, 'går' is wrong.
Use 'Hvordan kommer jeg hjem?'. You don't need 'dertil' because 'hjem' is the destination.
Yes, in this context it is written as one word.
Say 'Hvordan kommer han/hun dertil?'.
