Imod also means "toward", right? Isn't that the exact opposite thing?
It means both. It is context-based.
At være imod noget = To be against something
At gå imod noget = To walk towards something
Okay, so "Han går imod os", "Han løber imod os" & "Han kører imod os", we would just assume that "imod" means towards rather than against. Tak!
"Towards" is a direction, whereas "against" is a moral or physical position, so yes, it's all about the context (as in your examples) that make them mean "towards"
I think 'imod' is similar to 'versus' in that both have someone actively facing something. IDK if that helps you?
If that helped, you might also find it helpful to know that in French "vers" means "toward".

can you say "det er han imod" though? I think i've seen something like " Det tror jeg også"..
