Hi, I am not a native English speaker. I am confused by some suggestions from route planner. :( I wanna take the train ICE 38 from Naestvad, DK to Berlin. The route planner system comments me that this train is subject to supplement, Bordrestaurant, and there is no instruction that high occupancy to be expected, please reserve. Does that mean i must supplement extra fee before i get on the train, but i don't need to pay for extra fee for reservation?
Thank you for your clarification. :)

Another question is : what does the Bordbistro mean? Is that an English word?

Bordbistro means that you have (expensive) food and drink in the train

BordRestaurant :arr: fully equipped restaurant car with breakfast, drinks, various hot meals etc available
BordBistro :arr: more basic offer than BordRestaurant, esp regarding hot meals

Both terms apply to DB operated trains only.

The high occupancy... term means that the train is likely to be full. However you don't necessarily need a reservation - if the train is fully booked you can enter (as long as it isn't overcrowded) but you will have to stand. Depending on when you intend to travel (peak holiday period) you maybe should think about getting a reservation.
