Questions & Answers about הוא יפגוש חבר בעיר, ואני אפגוש חברה בתחנה.

Why does יפגוש mean he will meet, but אפגוש means I will meet?

Both forms come from the verb לפגוש = to meet.

In the Hebrew future tense, a prefix is added to show the subject:

• א־ = I
• י־ = he
• ת־ = you / she
• נ־ = we

So:

• הוא יפגוש = he will meet
• אני אפגוש = I will meet

The subject pronouns הוא and אני are also written here, but the verb form already tells you who the subject is.

What is the basic dictionary form of יפגוש and אפגוש?

The dictionary form is לפגוש = to meet.

This is the infinitive. From that verb, you get forms like:

• אפגוש = I will meet
• תפגוש = you will meet / she will meet
• יפגוש = he will meet
• נפגוש = we will meet

So if you want to look the verb up, look for לפגוש.
