Breakdown of Todavía no nos ponemos de acuerdo sobre la fecha de la reunión.

Why does the sentence use todavía no at the beginning?

Todavía no is a very common way to say still not or not yet.

In Spanish, no normally goes directly before the verb, and todavía adds the idea that the situation continues up to now:

A very common alternative is aún no:

Both are natural here.

Why isn’t nosotros included?

Spanish often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

Here, ponemos tells you the subject is we:

So (nosotros) todavía no nos ponemos... is possible, but nosotros is usually omitted unless you want emphasis or contrast.

Why is it nos ponemos and not just ponemos?

Because the verb here is the pronominal expression ponerse de acuerdo, which means to come to an agreement or to agree.

So the nos is part of the verb phrase:

If you remove nos, the meaning changes or the sentence becomes unnatural in this context.
