Vi er enige om, at mødet begynder klokken otte.

Vi er enige om means we agree that / we are in agreement that.

A useful way to understand it is:

• vi = we
• er = are
• enige = agreed / in agreement
• om = about / on

In Danish, enig om is a very common pattern:

• Vi er enige om det. = We agree on that.
• De er enige om planen. = They agree on the plan.

When a whole clause follows, Danish often uses om, at ...:

• Vi er enige om, at mødet begynder klokken otte.

So this structure is completely natural in Danish.

That is a very common question. In English, we usually just say We agree that..., but Danish normally keeps om because the expression is at være enig om noget.

So Danish treats it like to be in agreement about something. If the something is a full clause, you get:

• Vi er enige om, at ...

Even though English often drops about, Danish usually does not drop om here.

Here, at is a conjunction meaning that.

It introduces the subordinate clause:

• at mødet begynder klokken otte

So the sentence is made of:

1. main clause: Vi er enige om
2. subordinate clause: at mødet begynder klokken otte

Important: this at is not the infinitive marker to as in at spise = to eat. Danish uses at for both jobs, so you have to tell from context.

The comma marks the beginning of the subordinate clause.

• Vi er enige om, at mødet begynder klokken otte.

In Danish, comma use around subordinate clauses is an important spelling and writing feature. You will often see a comma before at, fordi, hvis, når, etc. when they introduce a clause.

So the comma here helps separate:

• Vi er enige om
  from
• at mødet begynder klokken otte

Mødet is the definite form, meaning the meeting.

• et møde = a meeting
• mødet = the meeting

Danish often adds the definite article as an ending:

• en bil = a car → bilen = the car
• et hus = a house → huset = the house
• et møde = a meeting → mødet = the meeting

So mødet begynder means the meeting begins.

Because møde is a neuter noun in Danish.

Its forms are:

• et møde = a meeting
• mødet = the meeting

Unfortunately, grammatical gender in Danish often has to be learned noun by noun. There are some patterns, but many nouns simply have to be memorized with their article.

A good habit is to learn the noun together with its article:

• et møde
• en stol
• et bord

Begynder is present tense.

The verb is:

• infinitive: at begynde = to begin
• present: begynder = begins / is beginning
• past: begyndte = began

In this sentence:

• mødet begynder klokken otte = the meeting begins at eight

Just like in English, present tense can be used for future scheduled events:

• Toget kører klokken ni. = The train leaves at nine.
• Mødet begynder klokken otte. = The meeting begins at eight.

Because Danish normally places adverbials like time expressions after the verb in a simple statement.

The basic order here is:

• subject: mødet
• verb: begynder
• time expression: klokken otte

So:

• Mødet begynder klokken otte.

This is the normal word order for a subordinate clause too, because after at, Danish does not use the main-clause verb-second pattern.

In Danish, subordinate clauses usually have more straightforward word order than main clauses.

Main clauses often follow the verb-second rule, but subordinate clauses do not.

Compare:

• Mødet begynder klokken otte.
• Vi ved, at mødet begynder klokken otte.

In the subordinate clause, the subject mødet stays before the verb begynder.

This becomes even clearer with adverbs like ikke:

• main clause: Mødet begynder ikke klokken otte.
• subordinate clause: ... at mødet ikke begynder klokken otte.

So after at, the adverb usually comes before the finite verb.

Klokken otte means at eight o’clock.

Literally, klokken is the definite form of klokke (clock), but in time expressions it functions idiomatically.

Common examples:

• klokken otte = at eight o’clock
• klokken tolv = at twelve o’clock
• klokken halv ni = at half past eight in Danish time logic

Notice that English uses at, but Danish often just says:

• Mødet begynder klokken otte.

No separate word for at is needed here.

Yes. You can also write:

• klokken 8

Both are common, depending on context and style.

In more formal scheduling, you may also see:

• kl. 8
• kl. 08.00
• klokken otte

So the sentence could also appear as:

• Vi er enige om, at mødet begynder klokken 8.

Yes. Enige is the plural form of the adjective enig.

Compare:

• Jeg er enig. = I agree.
• Han er enig. = He agrees / He is in agreement.
• Vi er enige. = We agree.
• De er enige. = They agree.

Because the subject is vi (we), Danish uses the plural form enige.

No, not with vi.

Because vi is plural, the adjective must be plural too:

• jeg er enig
• du er enig
• han/hun er enig
• vi er enige
• I er enige
• de er enige

So Vi er enige om is correct.

The written sentence is already natural. In speech, the pronunciation may be more relaxed, but the wording itself is normal.

You might also hear slight variations such as:

• Vi er enige om, at mødet starter klokken otte.
• Vi er blevet enige om, at mødet begynder klokken otte.

These mean slightly different things:

• Vi er enige om ... = We agree that ...
• Vi er blevet enige om ... = We have agreed / We came to an agreement that ...

So your original sentence is perfectly natural and standard.

Both can mean begins / starts.

• begynder is often a bit more neutral or formal
• starter is also very common and can sound slightly more everyday in some contexts

So these are both fine:

• Mødet begynder klokken otte.
• Mødet starter klokken otte.

For a learner, it is useful to know both, but begynde is a very important core verb.

A natural negated version would be:

• Vi er ikke enige om, at mødet begynder klokken otte.

This means We do not agree that the meeting begins at eight or We are not in agreement that the meeting starts at eight.

If you want to negate the subordinate clause instead, you would say:

• Vi er enige om, at mødet ikke begynder klokken otte.

That means We agree that the meeting does not begin at eight.

This is a very useful contrast:

• ikke in the main clause changes agree
• ikke in the subordinate clause changes begin at eight

Yes, very much so. It shows several useful Danish patterns at once:

• Vi er enige om, at ...
• a subordinate clause with at
• a definite noun: mødet
• present tense for a scheduled future event: begynder
• a time expression: klokken otte

So it is a very practical model sentence. You can easily swap in other words:

• Vi er enige om, at filmen begynder klokken syv.
• Vi er enige om, at toget afgår klokken seks.
• Vi er enige om, at festen starter klokken ni.

That makes it a great structure to learn and reuse.
