Ja - Ja - Yes ("a" in Danish here follows the standard "a" sound, so ja in Danish sounds like "yay").
Nej - Nein - No.
Now that you know how to say your hellos and goodbyes, let's get familiar with some words you'll experience every day in Denmark, especially as a tourist.
Important vocabulary:
Bus - (You can probably guess what this means; like German though, the Danes pronounce the letter "u" like "oo", so you'd say "boos").Tog - Zug - Train (since "g" in Danish would be silent here, you'd say tog like "toh" in English).
Togbillet - Fahrkarte/Fahrschein - Train ticket (so, "t" in Danish in some cases is also like the "t" in Coloradan speak, so togbillet sounds like "toh-bille' ").
Metro station - U-Bahnstation - Metro station ("r"s in Danish are like German "r"s, so you'd say "metro" like you might imagine saying it in German. Note also that station in Danish puts emphasis on the, well, "on", rather than on the "a" like in English).
Busstoppested - Bushaltestelle - Bus stop ("d" at the end of Danish words frequently sounds like the letter "L" in English, but if you put your tongue on your bottom teeth rather than on your front teeth. So, the Danish word would sound like "bus-stoppeh-stel").
(Hoved)banegård - (Haupt)bahnhof - (Central) train station (so "v" is more like a really subtle "w" in the middle of words in Danish, but if nothing else just ignore it. Hovedbanegård sounds like "hoh-bayn-goh", with choppy pauses where each dash is).
