"He wants me to look to the right."

Translation: Han vil gerne have mig til at kigge til højre.

[PatrickDaSilva]

Isn't "gerne" a bit too much here? I don't see any context where it sounds appropriate to add gerne there..

It is the same difference as:

• He wants me to look to the right.

• He would like for me to look to the right.

It's more of a preference, really, whether one adds it or not :)

Why do we use til and at together?

[keyumi]

"Til at" beskriver en funktion – Spørg: til hvad?
Fx Han købte en kniv til at skære brød med.
"Til at" beskriver det, som noget (fx et redskab) skal bruges til: Han ønskede sig en maskine til at bage brød i.
SOURCE: basby.dk ( http://basby.dk/aftenhold/aftenpapir/For%20at%20eller%20til%20at%20samlet.doc )

"Til at" describes a function - Ask: what for?
Eg. He bought a knife (what for?) to cut bread (with).
"Til at" describes what something (eg. a tool) is used for: He wanted a machine (what for?) to bake bread (in).

[GretaZserbo]

Why adding 'til' before 'at'?

[SaeedMoham5]

Impossible!!! Can somebody explains the rule here?

Could you also say "Han vil at jeg kigger til højre"?
