Questions & Answers about אנחנו נפגשים במועדון כל שבוע.
Why is אנחנו included? Doesn’t נפגשים already tell me it means we meet?
Not by itself. In the present tense, נפגשים tells you masculine plural, but it does not tell you the person. So it can mean we meet / are meeting or they meet / are meeting, depending on context.
That is why אנחנו is helpful here: it makes the subject clearly we.
What exactly is נפגשים?
נפגשים is the present-tense masculine plural form of להיפגש, which means to meet or to meet up.
A few useful things to notice:
- singular masculine: נפגש
- singular feminine: נפגשת
- plural masculine/mixed: נפגשים
- plural feminine: נפגשות
Because the subject is אנחנו, the form has to agree with the group. נפגשים is used for a group of men or a mixed group.
Why is it נפגשים and not פוגשים?
