Yes, "middag" would literally mean "middle of the day". Maybe a long time ago you had your main meal in the middle of the day, but now you have it in the evening but you still call it "middag".

(native speaker) The pronunciation is often good, but not here. I am thinking about the world "Vi". If the emphasis is on the letter "i" , the word would be easier to recognize. First time I heard the sentence it sounded to me as "De äter middag".

In Midwestern-ish America, people used to (some still do) refer to lunch as 'dinner' and dinner was called 'supper', so I've been told. That's how I remember that middag means dinner.

I listen and type this sentence incorrect multiple time because Vi sound like De.
is this really Vi sound?
