Hvis jeg skynder mig, kommer jeg i tide til mødet.

Hvis means if and introduces a condition.

So Hvis jeg skynder mig means If I hurry.
It sets up the situation under which the second part is true:

• Hvis ... = If ...
• kommer jeg i tide til mødet = I’ll arrive in time for the meeting

In Danish, hvis is the normal word for this kind of real condition.

Because the verb is at skynde sig, which is a reflexive verb.

That means Danish says something more like to hurry oneself. So the reflexive pronoun has to match the subject:

• jeg skynder mig = I hurry
• du skynder dig = you hurry
• han/hun skynder sig = he/she hurries
• vi skynder os = we hurry

So in your sentence, mig is there because the subject is jeg.

This is because of Danish word order.

The first part, Hvis jeg skynder mig, is a subordinate clause. When that whole clause comes first, it takes the first position in the sentence. In the main clause, Danish normally puts the finite verb second.

So the structure is:

• Hvis jeg skynder mig = first element
• kommer = finite verb in second position
• jeg = subject after the verb

That is why you get:

• Hvis jeg skynder mig, kommer jeg i tide til mødet.

and not:

• Hvis jeg skynder mig, jeg kommer ...

This verb-second pattern is very important in Danish main clauses.

In Danish, the present tense is very often used to talk about the future, especially when the future meaning is clear from context.

So:

• Hvis jeg skynder mig, kommer jeg i tide til mødet.

means something like:

• If I hurry, I’ll get to the meeting on time.

This is similar to English, which also often uses present after if:

• If I hurry, I’ll be on time.

Danish does not need a special future form here.

Yes, in this kind of sentence you normally put a comma after the initial subordinate clause:

• Hvis jeg skynder mig, kommer jeg i tide til mødet.

The comma marks the boundary between:

1. the if-clause
2. the main clause

So it helps show the structure clearly.

I tide means in time or on time in the sense of early enough / not too late.

Examples:

• Jeg kom i tide. = I arrived in time.
• Kommer bussen i tide? = Does the bus arrive on time?

In your sentence, kommer jeg i tide til mødet means I’ll make it to the meeting in time.

A useful contrast is:

• i tide = in time, early enough
• på tide = about time, overdue

So:

• Det er på tide. = It’s about time.
• Jeg kom i tide. = I arrived in time.

These are not interchangeable.

Til here means for or to in the sense of reaching an event in time.

So:

• i tide til mødet = in time for the meeting

This is a very common pattern in Danish:

• i tide til toget = in time for the train
• i tide til timen = in time for class
• i tide til festen = in time for the party

So til connects in time with the event you are trying not to miss.

Because mødet is the definite form, meaning the meeting.

In Danish, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun:

• et møde = a meeting
• mødet = the meeting

So the sentence refers to a specific meeting that both speaker and listener know about.

Yes, that is possible.

The word så can appear in sentences like this and means something like then:

• Hvis jeg skynder mig, så kommer jeg i tide til mødet.

This is natural in speech and also possible in writing. But it is often left out because the meaning is already clear:

• Hvis jeg skynder mig, kommer jeg i tide til mødet.

Both are understandable. The version without så is a little leaner and very standard.

The main things that change are:

1. the subject
2. the reflexive pronoun after skynder
3. sometimes the verb ending in the main clause stays the same, because Danish present tense usually has the same form for all persons

Examples:

• Hvis du skynder dig, kommer du i tide til mødet.
• Hvis han skynder sig, kommer han i tide til mødet.
• Hvis vi skynder os, kommer vi i tide til mødet.

So the key thing to watch is the reflexive pronoun:

• mig, dig, sig, os, jer, sig

A helpful breakdown is:

• Hvis = if
• jeg = I
• skynder mig = hurry
• kommer jeg = I arrive / I’ll arrive
• i tide = in time
• til mødet = for the meeting

So the pattern is:

condition + result

• Hvis jeg skynder mig = If I hurry
• kommer jeg i tide til mødet = I’ll get to the meeting on time

This is a very common Danish sentence pattern, so it is worth learning well.
