Accessibility

1. Er dette sted tilgængeligt for kørestole?

   "tilgængeligt" is the neuter form of the adjective "tilgængelig" (accessible), used when the subject is neuter or predicative.

2. Har I en elevator?

   Do you have an elevator / lift?

   Usage

   Used when asking staff as a group or about a venue in general

   "har brug for" is the idiomatic Danish expression for "need." Literally "has need for."

4. Er der en rampe eller trinfri adgang?

   Is there a ramp or step-free entrance?

   Usage

   "trinfri" is a compound of "trin" (step) + "fri" (free). Danish frequently forms compound adjectives this way.

5. Hvor er det handicapvenlige toilet?

   Where is the accessible restroom?

   Usage

   Ask staff or check signage at public venues for the accessible toilet

   Do you have large-print menus?

   Usage
