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?

This is a very common learner question.

  • פוגשים comes from לפגוש and often means meet someone / run into someone
  • נפגשים comes from להיפגש and often means meet each other / meet up

So in a sentence about a regular group meetup, אנחנו נפגשים sounds very natural: we meet up.

Does נפגשים mean we meet or we are meeting?

It can mean either, depending on context. Hebrew present tense often covers both:

  • simple present: we meet
  • present continuous: we are meeting

In this sentence, כל שבוע makes it clear that this is a habitual action, so the most natural English translation is we meet every week.

Why is במועדון written as one word?

Because the preposition ב־ attaches directly to the noun.

So:

  • ב־ = in / at
  • מועדון = club
  • במועדון = in the club / at the club / in a club, depending on context

This is very normal in Hebrew. Short prepositions are often attached to the following word.

Does במועדון mean in a club or in the club / at the club?

In unpointed Hebrew, the spelling במועדון can represent either one. Context tells you which is meant.

With vowel points, Hebrew would distinguish them:

  • בְּמועדון = in a club
  • בַּמועדון = in the club / at the club

But in everyday writing, people usually do not write vowel points, so you learn to rely on context.

Why does English say at the club when Hebrew uses ב־, which usually means in?

Because Hebrew ב־ is broader than English in. Depending on the situation, it can mean:

  • in
  • at
  • sometimes even something close to on

So במועדון can naturally be translated as at the club if that sounds more natural in English.

What does כל שבוע mean literally, and why is שבוע singular?

Literally, כל שבוע is every week or each week.

In Hebrew, כל followed by a singular noun often means every:

  • כל יום = every day
  • כל שבוע = every week
  • כל חודש = every month

So the singular is exactly what you expect here.

Is the word order fixed in this sentence?

No, Hebrew word order is fairly flexible.

אנחנו נפגשים במועדון כל שבוע is very natural and neutral. But other orders are also possible, for example:

  • כל שבוע אנחנו נפגשים במועדון = Every week, we meet at the club
  • במועדון אנחנו נפגשים כל שבוע = more emphasis on at the club

The basic meaning stays the same, but the emphasis changes.

How would this sentence change if the group were all female?

Then נפגשים would change to the feminine plural form:

אנחנו נפגשות במועדון כל שבוע.

Everything else stays the same. The change is only in the present-tense verb form, which has to agree with the gender of the group.

How do I pronounce the whole sentence?

A simple pronunciation guide is:

a-NACH-nu nif-ga-SHIM ba-mo-a-DON kol sha-VU-a

A more natural Israeli-style pronunciation would sound roughly like:

אנחנו = a-NACH-nu
נפגשים = nif-ga-SHIM
במועדון = ba-mo-a-DON or be-mo-a-DON, depending on whether it is understood as definite or indefinite
כל שבוע = kol sha-VU-a

The main stress is usually near the end of each word.
