Hun bliver ikke sur, selvom vi kommer lidt sent.

In Danish, blive often means to become/get, not just to be. So:

• Hun er ikke sur = She is not angry
• Hun bliver ikke sur = She does not get angry / She won’t get angry

In this sentence, the idea is that she doesn’t become upset because of the situation, rather than describing her current state.

Because ikke usually comes after the finite verb and before what it negates.

Here the structure is:

• Hun = subject
• bliver = finite verb
• ikke = negation
• sur = adjective

So:

• Hun bliver ikke sur = She does not get angry

This is normal Danish word order in a main clause.

Sur often means angry, annoyed, cross, or upset, depending on context.

In this sentence, sur is probably best understood as:

• angry
• upset
• annoyed

A literal one-word English equivalent is not always perfect, but angry/upset fits well here.

Selvom means although, even though, or though.

It introduces a subordinate clause:

• selvom vi kommer lidt sent = even though we are arriving a little late

So the full sentence has:

• main clause: Hun bliver ikke sur
• subordinate clause: selvom vi kommer lidt sent

This is a very common conjunction in Danish.

Because after selvom, Danish uses subordinate clause word order, which keeps the subject before the verb:

• selvom vi kommer lidt sent
• conjunction + subject + verb

So:

• selvom = although/even though
• vi = subject
• kommer = verb

This is different from main clauses, where Danish often has verb-second word order.

Danish often uses the present tense in places where English may choose different forms depending on style and context.

Vi kommer lidt sent literally means we come/are coming a little late, but in natural English it may be translated as:

• we’re a little late
• we’re arriving a little late
• we’ll be a little late

The Danish present tense is very flexible, especially when talking about something current or near-future.

Lidt means a little or slightly.

Here it modifies sent:

• lidt sent = a little late

It softens the statement. Compare:

• vi kommer sent = we’re arriving late
• vi kommer lidt sent = we’re arriving a little late

So it makes the lateness sound less serious.

Here sent is being used adverbially, meaning late in the sense of arriving late.

Compare:

• en sen bus = a late bus
  Here sen is an adjective describing a noun.
• vi kommer sent = we arrive late
  Here sent works like an adverb describing the verb kommer.

So sent is the correct form because it describes how we come/arrive.

It can be understood as either present/general or near future, depending on context.

It could mean:

• She doesn’t get angry, even if we arrive a little late
• She won’t get angry, even though we’re arriving a little late

Danish present tense often covers situations that English may express with either present or future wording.

Yes. Vred also means angry.

But there is often a small difference in tone:

• sur can sound a bit more like annoyed, cross, or upset
• vred can sound more directly angry

So both are possible, but sur may feel slightly milder or more conversational in many contexts.

Yes. You can also say:

• Selvom vi kommer lidt sent, bliver hun ikke sur.

That is very natural Danish.

Notice the word order in the main clause after the subordinate clause:

• bliver hun ikke sur
• verb before subject

That happens because the initial subordinate clause takes the first position, so the main clause still follows the Danish verb-second rule.

A very literal breakdown is:

• Hun = she
• bliver = becomes/gets
• ikke = not
• sur = angry/upset
• selvom = although/even though
• vi = we
• kommer = come/are coming
• lidt = a little
• sent = late

So a literal version would be:

She gets not angry, even though we come a little late.

That is not the most natural English, but it helps show the Danish structure.
