Ved det næste lyskryds drejer bussen til højre mod museet, som ligger overfor stationen.

Both are possible, but the word order changes because Danish is a V2 language.

That means:

• the finite verb usually comes in second position in a main clause
• if you put something other than the subject first, the verb still stays second

So:

• Bussen drejer ved det næste lyskryds.
  = subject first, then verb

• Ved det næste lyskryds drejer bussen.
  = adverbial phrase first, then verb, then subject

English learners often expect the subject to come first, but Danish often fronts time/place phrases like this.

Here ved means at or by.

So ved det næste lyskryds means:

• at the next traffic light
• by the next traffic light

In directions, Danish often uses ved for a location or reference point:

• ved stationen = at/by the station
• ved hjørnet = at the corner

So the idea is: when the bus reaches that traffic light, it turns.

This is the normal Danish way to make a noun definite when it has an adjective before it.

Compare:

• et lyskryds = a traffic light / an intersection with traffic lights
• lyskrydset = the traffic light
• det næste lyskryds = the next traffic light

With an adjective like næste, Danish usually uses:

• a separate definite article (den/det/de)
• plus the noun in its basic form

So:

• det næste lyskryds = correct
• det næste lyskrydset = not correct in standard Danish

This is often called double definiteness, although Danish does it differently from some other Scandinavian languages.

Because lyskryds is a neuter noun.

In Danish:

• en / den are used with common gender nouns
• et / det are used with neuter nouns

Since the noun is:

• et lyskryds

the definite adjective phrase becomes:

• det næste lyskryds

By contrast:

• en station
• den næste station

So the choice of det tells you the noun is neuter.

Yes. Danish very often forms compound nouns as one word.

lyskryds is made from:

• lys = light
• kryds = crossing / intersection

Together, lyskryds means traffic light or signal-controlled intersection, depending on context.

This is very common in Danish:

• busstation = bus station
• togbillet = train ticket
• sommerferie = summer holiday

English often writes similar ideas as two words, but Danish usually joins them.

Drejer is the present tense of dreje.

So:

• at dreje = to turn
• drejer = turns / is turning

In this sentence, it describes what the bus does:

• bussen drejer = the bus turns

Danish present tense is usually simple:

• you often add -r to the infinitive

Examples:

• at køre → kører
• at bo → bor
• at dreje → drejer

Unlike English, Danish verbs do not change for person:

• jeg drejer
• du drejer
• bussen drejer

Til højre is a fixed expression meaning to the right or right in directions.

So:

• drejer til højre = turns right
• drejer til venstre = turns left

You should learn these as set phrases.

Examples:

• Gå til højre. = Go right.
• Drej til venstre ved kirken. = Turn left at the church.

English learners sometimes want to translate word-for-word, but it is best to remember:

• til højre
• til venstre

as standard directional expressions.

Mod means toward or in the direction of.

So:

• mod museet = toward the museum

This suggests the bus turns right in the direction of the museum.

If you said til museet, that would sound more like:

• to the museum
• with stronger emphasis on the museum as the destination

In route descriptions, mod is often used when something is heading in a certain direction, not necessarily stopping exactly there.

Som introduces a relative clause. It refers back to museet.

So:

• museet, som ligger overfor stationen means
• the museum, which is opposite the station

The relative clause gives extra information about the museum.

You can think of it like this:

• main clause: Ved det næste lyskryds drejer bussen til højre mod museet
• extra information about museet: som ligger overfor stationen

So som = which / that

Sometimes yes.

In relative clauses, Danish can often use som or der, especially when the relative word is the subject of the clause.

So these can both occur:

• museet, som ligger overfor stationen
• museet, der ligger overfor stationen

Both mean the same thing here.

For learners, som is a very safe and useful default relative word to recognize.

This is a very common Danish pattern.

Danish often uses ligge for buildings, places, and institutions when talking about where they are situated.

So:

• Museet ligger overfor stationen. literally looks like
• The museum lies opposite the station but in natural English it means
• The museum is opposite the station
• The museum is located opposite the station

Other examples:

• Skolen ligger tæt på parken. = The school is near the park.
• Byen ligger ved kysten. = The town is on the coast.

So when Danish says ligger, English often translates it as is or is located.

Overfor means opposite or across from.

So:

• overfor stationen = opposite the station / across from the station

It tells you the museum is on the other side from the station.

This is a very useful location word:

• Han bor overfor banken. = He lives opposite the bank.
• Caféen ligger overfor rådhuset. = The café is across from the town hall.

Because station is a common gender noun, and Danish often makes nouns definite by adding an ending.

Compare:

• en station = a station
• stationen = the station

This is one of the biggest differences from English: Danish often puts the at the end of the noun.

So:

• bussen = the bus
• stationen = the station
• museet = the museum

The ending depends on the noun’s gender and form:

• common gender often takes -en
• neuter often takes -et

Because that part is a relative clause.

In Danish, many writers place a comma before a subordinate or relative clause like this:

• ..., som ligger overfor stationen

You will see this especially in writing that uses the traditional start comma.

So the comma helps mark that:

• the main statement is about the bus turning
• the relative clause gives extra information about museet

For a learner, the important thing is to recognize that everything after som describes museet.
