Busstoppestedet er længere væk end metroens indgang.

Because Danish usually writes compound nouns as a single word.

So:

• bus
• stoppested = stop / stopping place
• busstoppested = bus stop
• busstoppestedet = the bus stop

This is very normal in Danish. Where English often uses two words, Danish often combines them into one.

It is the definite article attached to the noun.

In Danish, the is often added to the end of the noun instead of standing in front of it.

• et busstoppested = a bus stop
• busstoppestedet = the bus stop

The ending is -et because busstoppested is a neuter noun, taking et in the indefinite form.

No. Danish verbs are much simpler than English in this way.

er is the present tense of at være = to be, and it stays the same with all subjects:

• jeg er = I am
• du er = you are
• han er = he is
• vi er = we are

So Busstoppestedet er ... simply uses the normal present-tense form.

længere væk means farther away or further away.

It is made of:

• længere = farther / longer
• væk = away

Together, længere væk is a very natural Danish way to talk about greater distance.

Compare:

• langt væk = far away
• længere væk = farther away

So this is a comparison of distance.

Because lang forms its comparative irregularly.

• lang = long / far
• længere = longer / farther

Danish, like English, has many common adjectives with special comparative forms rather than using mere.

Compare:

• English: long → longer, not more long
• Danish: lang → længere, not mere lang

So længere væk is the correct natural form.

end is the word used after a comparative, and it means than.

So:

• længere væk end ... = farther away than ...

This is the standard comparison pattern in Danish:

• større end = bigger than
• mindre end = smaller than
• hurtigere end = faster than

So end is exactly what you expect after længere.

metroens is the genitive form, meaning the metro’s.

It comes from:

• en metro = a metro
• metroen = the metro
• metroens = the metro’s

Danish usually forms the genitive by adding -s to the noun, even when the noun already has a definite ending.

So:

• metroens indgang = the metro’s entrance / the entrance of the metro

Unlike English, Danish normally does not use an apostrophe here.

Because in a possessive phrase, the possessed noun usually does not take its own definite article.

So Danish says:

• metroens indgang

not:

• metroens indgangen

This is similar to English in a way:

• the metro’s entrance
• not the metro’s the entrance

The possessive already makes the noun definite enough.

Yes, absolutely.

Both are possible:

• metroens indgang = the metro’s entrance
• indgangen til metroen = the entrance to the metro

The second version may sometimes sound a little more natural in everyday speech, depending on context, but the version in your sentence is grammatically correct and clear.

So this sentence could also be rephrased as:

• Busstoppestedet er længere væk end indgangen til metroen.

Same basic meaning.

The sentence follows normal Danish main-clause word order:

• Busstoppestedet = subject
• er = verb
• længere væk end metroens indgang = complement / comparison phrase

So the structure is basically:

Subject + verb + rest

That is the normal, neutral order in Danish.

If another element were moved to the front for emphasis, Danish would usually keep the verb in second position, but here nothing unusual is happening.

Yes. indgang means entrance.

You can break it down historically as:

• ind = in
• gang = going / passage

But for learners, the important thing is simply to remember indgang as the normal word for entrance.

Related word:

• udgang = exit

So metroens indgang is the metro entrance or the entrance to the metro.
