Jeg vil gerne høre din mening, fordi din holdning ofte hjælper mig med at se problemet fra en anden side.

In Danish, vil means want / will, and gerne means something like gladly. Together, vil gerne is a very common and polite way to express a wish.

So:

• Jeg vil gerne høre ... = I’d like to hear ...

Without gerne, jeg vil høre ... sounds more direct, closer to I want to hear ....

Yes, høre literally means hear, but Danish often uses it where English might also say hear in a slightly extended sense:

• Jeg vil gerne høre din mening = I’d like to hear your opinion

This is completely natural in Danish.
You would not normally use lytte til here, because lytte focuses more on the act of listening, not on receiving someone’s opinion as content.

So:

• høre din mening = natural
• lytte til din mening = not the usual phrasing

They are close in meaning, but not identical.

• mening = opinion / what you think
• holdning = attitude / stance / position

In this sentence:

• din mening = the opinion you want to hear
• din holdning = your general way of seeing or approaching the issue

Using both words also avoids repetition. In English, we often do the same thing by varying words slightly.

Because each noun needs its own possessive determiner here:

• din mening
• din holdning

In English, we also usually repeat your in separate noun phrases if they are not tightly joined together. Since the sentence has two different noun phrases in two different parts of the sentence, repeating din is the normal Danish choice.

Because the sentence is using the traditional/start comma style in Danish, where a comma is often placed before a subordinate clause.

Here, fordi introduces a subordinate clause:

• fordi din holdning ofte hjælper mig ...

So the comma is natural in that system.

A useful detail: in modern Danish, some writers use the new comma system, where that comma can be omitted. So you may also see:

• Jeg vil gerne høre din mening fordi din holdning ofte hjælper mig ...

Both styles exist.

This is about Danish word order in a subordinate clause.

After fordi, Danish often places adverbs like ofte before the finite verb:

• fordi din holdning ofte hjælper mig ...

That is very typical subordinate-clause word order.

In a main clause, you are more likely to see:

• Din holdning hjælper mig ofte ...

So the position of ofte is one of the clues that this is a subordinate clause.

Because Danish often uses the pattern:

• hjælpe nogen med at + infinitive

So:

• hjælper mig med at se = helps me to see

Word by word, it is something like:

• helps me with to see

That may feel strange from an English point of view, but it is a normal Danish structure.

You will see similar patterns like:

• Han hjalp mig med at forstå det = He helped me understand it

Because problemet is the definite form:

• et problem = a problem
• problemet = the problem

Here, the speaker means a specific problem, not just any problem in general.

Also note that problem is a neuter noun:

• et problem
• problemet

Because en anden means another, while den anden means the other.

So:

• fra en anden side = from another side / from a different angle
• fra den anden side = from the other side

In this sentence, the meaning is not literally one physical side versus the other. It means from another perspective, so en anden side is the right choice.

This is a common Danish way to express perspective, similar to English from another angle.

Yes. It is a very natural way to say from another perspective / from a different angle.

Similar Danish expressions are:

• fra en anden vinkel = from another angle
• på en anden måde = in another way
• fra et andet perspektiv = from another perspective

So even though side literally means side, the phrase is not meant literally here.

Yes. A very natural alternative would be:

• Jeg vil gerne høre, hvad du mener, fordi du ofte hjælper mig med at se problemet fra en anden side.

That means almost the same thing, but it sounds a bit more direct and conversational.

The original sentence is also perfectly good; it just sounds a little more formal or carefully phrased because it uses both mening and holdning.

A few words here can be tricky for English speakers:

• gerne: often pronounced with a weak second syllable; the r affects the vowel a lot
• høre: the vowel is not like English hear; it is a specifically Danish sound
• hjælper: the beginning is not a strong English hj sound; it is much softer
• holdning: the d is very weak, often almost disappearing in normal speech

If you want a rough learner-friendly idea:

• Jeg vil gerne ≈ yai vil gair-nuh
• høre ≈ something like HUR-uh, but with a more Danish vowel
• hjælper ≈ roughly yelper, but not exactly
• holdning ≈ roughly hol-ning, with a very soft d

These are only approximations, but they can help as a first step.
