Selvom vi er uenige om maden, er vi stadig enige om at mødes efter arbejde.

Selvom means although / even though. It introduces a subordinate clause that gives a contrast.

So:

• Selvom vi er uenige om maden = Although we disagree about the food

It sets up the idea that, despite one disagreement, something else is still true in the main clause.

This is because of Danish V2 word order in main clauses.

When a sentence begins with something other than the subject — here, the subordinate clause Selvom vi er uenige om maden — the finite verb comes before the subject in the main clause:

• normal order: Vi er stadig enige ...
• after a fronted clause: ..., er vi stadig enige ...

This is very common in Danish.

Compare:

• Vi er stadig enige om at mødes.
• Når han kommer, er vi klar.
• Hvis det regner, bliver vi hjemme.

So er vi is not unusual here; it is the expected word order.

They are opposites:

• enig = in agreement / agreeing
• uenig = in disagreement / disagreeing

The prefix u- often makes a word negative in Danish, a bit like un- in English.

Examples:

• Vi er enige. = We agree.
• Vi er uenige. = We disagree.

In your sentence, both appear:

• uenige om maden = disagree about the food
• enige om at mødes = agree to meet

That contrast is the whole point of the sentence.

In Danish, enig om and uenig om are standard patterns.

• enig om noget = agree about/on something
• uenig om noget = disagree about/on something

So:

• uenige om maden = disagree about the food
• enige om at mødes = agree about meeting / agree to meet

Even though English may use different wording, Danish commonly uses om after these adjectives.

Because they do different jobs:

• om belongs with enig: enig om
• at mødes is the infinitive clause: to meet

So the structure is:

• enig om + at + infinitive

Examples:

• Vi er enige om at gå nu. = We agree to leave now.
• De er enige om at vente. = They agree to wait.
• Vi er enige om at mødes efter arbejde. = We agree to meet after work.

So om is required by enige, and at introduces the infinitive mødes.

Mødes is the form used when people meet each other.

Compare:

• møde nogen = meet someone
• mødes = meet, get together, meet each other

Examples:

• Jeg møder min ven. = I meet my friend.
• Vi mødes klokken seks. = We meet at six.

In your sentence, the meaning is reciprocal: we meet each other after work, so mødes is the natural choice.

Stadig means still.

It shows that the second fact remains true despite the first one:

• Selvom vi er uenige om maden, er vi stadig enige om at mødes efter arbejde.

So even though there is disagreement about one thing, agreement about meeting continues.

It adds an important nuance of continuity or despite that.

This is the normal placement for many sentence adverbs in Danish.

In the main clause:

• er = finite verb
• vi = subject
• stadig = adverb
• enige = complement

So:

• er vi stadig enige

That placement is very typical in Danish main clauses.

Efter arbejde is a very common fixed expression meaning after work.

So:

• efter arbejde = after work, after one’s workday

If you said efter arbejdet, it would often sound more like after the work / after the job/task is finished, referring to a more specific piece of work.

So in everyday Danish, efter arbejde is the natural choice for after work.

Because here arbejde is being used in a general, abstract way — like English work in after work.

Danish often uses nouns without an article in fixed expressions of time or routine:

• efter arbejde = after work
• i skole = at school / in school
• på arbejde = at work

So arbejde here is not referring to one specific job or task, but to the general workday context.

Because Selvom vi er uenige om maden is a subordinate clause, and in standard Danish writing it is separated from the main clause by a comma.

So the structure is:

• subordinate clause: Selvom vi er uenige om maden
• main clause: er vi stadig enige om at mødes efter arbejde

This comma helps show the sentence structure clearly.

Yes, you may see both selvom and selv om.

In modern Danish, selvom as one word is very common and usually preferred when it means although / even though.

So in this sentence, selvom is completely natural.

It literally means the food.

Depending on context, it could refer to:

• the food in general
• a particular meal
• what to eat
• the food choice

So uenige om maden can mean they disagree about the food, the meal, or what they should eat. The exact nuance depends on context, but grammatically it is simply about the food.

Yes, that is a very useful way to understand it.

The sentence has this pattern:

• Although X, Y still ...

More specifically:

• Selvom vi er uenige om maden = Although we disagree about the food
• er vi stadig enige om at mødes efter arbejde = we still agree to meet after work

So the sentence contrasts:

• disagreement about one topic with
• agreement about another action

That contrast is the main communicative purpose of the sentence.
