When people ask you something and you have no idea for that, you can say “I don’t know.”.
It can often happen during traveling too. People may ask you the way as they don’t know that you are tourist.
Or local people may ask you “Do you know the delicious food here?”, or “Do you know the famous landmark there?”.
If you tell them that you don’t know, they would be happy to tell you about it.
Many local people want to introduce good parts of their city and country to visitors.
