Questions & Answers about Til sidst bliver vi enige om planen.
What does til sidst mean here?
Til sidst means in the end, finally, or eventually.
It is a time expression that tells you when the agreement happens. In this sentence, it means that after some process, discussion, or delay, we finally agree on the plan.
A useful distinction:
- til sidst = in the end / eventually
- sidst by itself often means last or the last time
So til sidst is a fixed expression you will see often.
Why does the sentence start with Til sidst?
Danish often puts a time expression at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis or flow.
When something other than the subject comes first, Danish still keeps the finite verb in the second position. That is why the sentence is:
- Til sidst bliver vi enige om planen.
and not:
- Til sidst vi bliver enige om planen.
This is a very common Danish word order pattern, often called the V2 rule: the verb comes second in main clauses.
Why is it bliver vi and not vi bliver?
