בסוף הפגישה כתבתי סיכום קצר לעצמי.

Because ב־ means in / at, and סוף means end. So בסוף literally means at the end of.

In this sentence, בסוף הפגישה means at the end of the meeting.

This is a very common Hebrew pattern:

• בתחילת השיעור = at the beginning of the lesson
• באמצע היום = in the middle of the day
• בסוף הסרט = at the end of the movie

Hebrew usually prefers the construct chain for this kind of phrase.

So instead of saying the end of the meeting with a separate word for of, Hebrew often says:

• סוף הפגישה

This is more natural and standard than הסוף של הפגישה in a sentence like this.

So:

• סוף הפגישה = the end of the meeting
• literally: end the-meeting

Because in a construct chain, the first noun often does not take ה־, even when the whole phrase is definite.

So:

• סוף פגישה = end of a meeting
• סוף הפגישה = the end of the meeting

The definiteness comes from the second noun, הפגישה. Once the second noun is definite, the whole phrase becomes definite.

That is why בסוף הפגישה means at the end of the meeting, even though סוף itself does not have ה־.

כתבתי is the past tense form of the verb לכתוב = to write.

The ending ־תי tells you that the subject is I.

So כתבתי means:

• I wrote

It is:

• past tense
• first person singular
• usually pronounced roughly as ka-TAV-ti

Because Hebrew verbs often already show the subject.

In כתבתי, the ending ־תי already means I. So adding אני is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis.

Compare:

• כתבתי סיכום קצר = I wrote a short summary
• אני כתבתי סיכום קצר = I wrote a short summary, with extra emphasis on I

So the sentence without אני is completely normal.

Because את is usually used before a definite direct object.

Here, סיכום קצר is indefinite:

• not the short summary
• just a short summary

So Hebrew does not use את here.

Compare:

• כתבתי סיכום קצר = I wrote a short summary
• כתבתי את הסיכום הקצר = I wrote the short summary

That is a very important rule in Hebrew.

In Hebrew, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.

So:

• סיכום קצר = a short summary

This is the normal Hebrew order, unlike English, where adjectives usually come before the noun.

More examples:

• ספר מעניין = an interesting book
• פגישה ארוכה = a long meeting
• מכתב קצר = a short letter

Because סיכום is a masculine singular noun, and adjectives must agree with the noun in gender and number.

So:

• סיכום = masculine singular
• קצר = masculine singular adjective form

If the noun were feminine singular, you would use קצרה:

• פגישה קצרה = a short meeting

So the adjective matches the noun:

• סיכום קצר
• פגישה קצרה

לעצמי means for myself or to myself, depending on context.

It is made of:

• ל־ = to / for
• עצמי = myself

In this sentence, כתבתי סיכום קצר לעצמי means that the summary was for the speaker’s own use, not for other people.

So the idea is something like:

• I wrote a short summary for myself
• I made personal notes for myself

Sometimes yes, but the nuance is a little different.

• לעצמי feels more reflexive and personal, like for my own use
• בשבילי means for me, but it is not always as strongly reflexive

In this sentence, לעצמי is very natural because the speaker wrote the summary for their own benefit or reference.

So לעצמי is the best fit here.

The given order is natural:

• בסוף הפגישה כתבתי סיכום קצר לעצמי

It starts with the time phrase at the end of the meeting, and then gives the main action.

But Hebrew word order is somewhat flexible. For example, you could also say:

• כתבתי סיכום קצר לעצמי בסוף הפגישה

That would still be correct. It just puts the focus a little differently.

So the original sentence is natural, but it is not the only possible order.

Yes, it sounds natural and idiomatic.

It is a normal way to say that after or at the end of a meeting, the speaker wrote a short summary for personal use.

A native speaker might also say similar things like:

• בסוף הפגישה רשמתי לעצמי כמה הערות
• בסוף הפגישה כתבתי לי סיכום קצר

But the original sentence is absolutely good, clear Hebrew.
