意思
Polite way to order something.
文化背景
Danes value directness but also social harmony. 'Jeg vil gerne have' is the perfect balance. It's direct about what you want, but 'gerne' shows you respect the other person's role. The word 'tak' (thanks) is often used where English speakers use 'please'. You will often hear 'Jeg vil gerne have en kaffe, tak' as a complete polite unit. In Greenland (part of the Danish Realm), the Danish language is used in official and service contexts. 'Jeg vil gerne have' is equally standard there for ordering in shops. While Faroese is the primary language, Danish is widely understood and used. This phrase is the standard way for Danish speakers to interact in Tórshavn's shops.
The 'Tak' Rule
Always add 'tak' at the end of the phrase. 'Jeg vil gerne have en kaffe, tak' is the perfect sentence.
Don't be too direct
Avoid 'Jeg vil have'. It sounds like you are angry or entitled to a Dane.

The 'Have' vs 'Bede om' trick
Use 'have' for things you get immediately (coffee, bread). Use 'bede om' for things that require more effort (the bill, a favor).

常见问题
4 个问题No, it's perfectly fine. While some might say 'Må jeg få', 'Jeg vil gerne have' is never out of place.
No, that sounds like you want to 'own' them. Use 'Jeg vil gerne tale med...' (I would like to speak with...).
Danish doesn't have a direct equivalent to 'please'. The word 'gerne' (gladly) performs that function within the verb phrase.
Only if the verb 'have' is implied by the context, but it's better to include it for clarity.
