Significado
Asking about origin.
Contexto cultural
Danes are generally modest. Don't be surprised if they answer with just the city name. The question is a standard social opener, not an interrogation. In international settings in Copenhagen, this is the #1 question asked. In smaller towns, people might ask 'Hvor kommer du fra?' to see if you have local roots.
Don't overthink it
It's a very simple question. Just say it clearly.
Be ready to answer
If you ask, they will ask you back. Have your answer ready: 'Jeg er fra...'
