הפגישה שלנו מתחילה בשש ורבע.

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• הפגישה — the meeting
• שלנו — our
• מתחילה — starts / begins (feminine singular)
• בשש — at six
• ורבע — and a quarter, so here quarter past

So the structure is basically:

the meeting our starts at-six and-a-quarter

Which is the normal Hebrew way to say our meeting starts at 6:15.

Because הפגישה is a feminine singular noun.

In Hebrew, verbs in the present tense agree with the subject in gender and number. Since פגישה is feminine singular, the verb must also be feminine singular:

• מתחיל — masculine singular
• מתחילה — feminine singular

So:

• הפגישה מתחילה = the meeting starts
• not הפגישה מתחיל

A very common clue is the ending -ה. Many Hebrew nouns ending in -ה are feminine, and פגישה is one of them.

You cannot rely on this rule 100% in every case, but it is a strong pattern and very useful for learners.

Because פגישה is feminine, anything agreeing with it will usually be feminine too, including the present-tense verb here: מתחילה.

In Hebrew, possessive words like שלי, שלך, שלנו usually come after the noun.

So Hebrew says:

• הפגישה שלנו — our meeting
• literally, something like the meeting of ours

This is normal Hebrew word order. English puts our before the noun, but Hebrew usually puts the possessive expression after it.

Because in standard Hebrew, when a noun is made definite by a possessive expression like שלנו, the noun itself is usually also marked as definite.

So Hebrew prefers:

• הפגישה שלנו — our meeting

rather than:

• פגישה שלנו

This may feel strange to an English speaker, because English does not say the our meeting. But in Hebrew, this is the normal pattern:

• הספר שלי — my book
• המורה שלנו — our teacher
• הפגישה שלנו — our meeting

Hebrew often uses the present tense for scheduled future events, especially when talking about timetables, plans, or arrangements.

So מתחילה is grammatically present tense, but in context it can mean a future event:

• הפגישה שלנו מתחילה בשש ורבע — our meeting starts at 6:15

English does this too:

• The meeting starts at 6:15
• The train leaves at 8

So this use is very natural in both languages.

The prefix ב- usually means in / at / on, depending on context. With clock times, it often means at.

So:

• שש — six
• בשש — at six

In this sentence, בשש ורבע means at six fifteen / at quarter past six.

This is a very common pattern in Hebrew for telling when something happens.

ורבע literally means and a quarter.

When telling time, שש ורבע means six and a quarter, which corresponds to 6:15 or quarter past six.

Some useful comparisons:

• שש — six o’clock
• שש ורבע — 6:15
• שש וחצי — 6:30
• שבע פחות רבע — 6:45, literally seven minus a quarter

So in time expressions, רבע means a quarter of an hour, not just a general quarter.

בשש ורבע is completely natural and very common.

You can also say:

• בשעה שש ורבע

which is more explicit and literally includes at the hour of six and a quarter, but in everyday speech the word שעה is often omitted because it is understood.

So both are possible, but בשש ורבע is shorter and very normal.

A common pronunciation guide would be:

ha-pgishá shelánu matchilá be-shésh va-réva

A few pronunciation notes:

• הפגישה = ha-pgishá
  The stress is on the last syllable: sha.
• שלנו = shelánu
  Stress on la.
• מתחילה = matchilá
  Stress on the last syllable.
• בשש = be-shésh
• ורבע = va-réva

The first word, הפגישה, begins with a consonant cluster (pg), which may feel unusual to English speakers. Many learners naturally insert a tiny vowel there at first, and that is a common beginner issue.

The sentence as given is the most neutral and natural order:

הפגישה שלנו מתחילה בשש ורבע.

That is:

subject + verb + time expression

Hebrew does allow some flexibility, especially for emphasis, but this is the standard order you should learn first.

For example, if you moved the time expression to the front, it could sound more emphatic or context-driven:

• בשש ורבע הפגישה שלנו מתחילה.

That is possible, but the original sentence is the safest and most natural version for everyday use.
