"Do you know where he is?"

Translation: Ved du hvor han er?

[DeadMonkey13]

Wow hints way wrong.... Tells you to use kender then tells you it's wrong

[KatElRen]

Why can't kender be used here instead of ved?

[spiffwalker]

Ved is used when a fact is known.
I.E.
"I know the answer." - "Jeg ved svaret."
"I know it is raining." - "Jeg ved det regner."
"I know the nearest mountain to the capital of Brazil" - ???

Kender is used when something is known personally, as in a person, or a place.
I.E.
"I know her." - "Jeg kender hende."
"I know Los Angeles." - "Jeg kender Los Angeles."
"I know this city like the back of my hand" - ???

Can someone explain the word order in Danish a bit more? Maybe i can figure out why "Ved du hvor er han" is not correct

[AmandaBerg875793]

You've written "Do you know where is he" rather than "Do you know where he is", which makes less grammatical sense
