Markedsplads - Marktplatz - Marketplace (Following the rules above, markedsplads would sound like "mark-els-plehls).
Rådhus - Rathaus - City hall (Danish sounded out like "ruhd-hoos").
Now that you have a taste for Danish, it's time to cut to the chase. You've been in Copenhagen for a week and oh boy, you're lost and you don't know any of the bus or metro routes. Worse still, everyone around you has Danish-itis, so they don't speak any English or German whatsoever. If you follow the above words and pronunciation tips, however, plus what I have given down below, you'll surely get back to where you need to go!
Important phrases:
Hvor kører denne bus hen? - Wohin fährt dieser Bus? - Where does this bus go to? (the "h" that comes before "v" in Danish is silent, so hvordan sounds like "vor-dayn".Kører denne bus/metro til Hovedbanegården? - Fährt dieser Bus/Metro zum Hauptbahnhof? - Does this bus/metro go to the central station? (the "ø" in Danish is like the "ö" in German. Also note that for Danish, "the" is reflected at the end of a word; der and die are -en, and das is -et).
Hvordan køber jeg en billet? - Wie kaufe ich eine Fahrkarte/einen Fahrschein? - How do I buy a train ticket? (Do not ask this on a bus, because those operate on either rejsekorter - or in German, Reisekarte - or on mobile apps where you can buy bus tickets. Train and metro stations however have ticket booths).
