הוא נראה די עייף היום, אבל הוא בכל זאת בא לפגישה.

Here נראה means looks, seems, or appears.

So הוא נראה די עייף is literally something like he appears quite tired. In natural English, he looks pretty tired is a very good match.

Grammatically, נראה is the masculine singular present form, matching הוא.

Because it has to agree with הוא, which is masculine singular.

So:

• הוא נראה די עייף = masculine singular
• היא נראית די עייפה = feminine singular

Hebrew adjectives usually change form to match gender and number.

די means quite, rather, or fairly.

So די עייף means:

• quite tired
• rather tired
• pretty tired

It is usually weaker and more moderate than מאוד (very).

Compare:

• די עייף = quite tired
• מאוד עייף = very tired

Also, in other contexts די can mean enough, as in די! = Enough! But in this sentence it clearly means quite/rather.

Yes, היום can move around. Hebrew word order is fairly flexible, especially with time words.

The sentence as written:

• הוא נראה די עייף היום

sounds natural and means he looks quite tired today.

You could also say:

• היום הוא נראה די עייף

This puts a bit more emphasis on today.

So the placement is not fixed in one single spot, but the version in the sentence is very normal everyday Hebrew.

בכל זאת is a very common fixed expression meaning:

• nevertheless
• all the same
• even so
• still

So:

• אבל הוא בכל זאת בא לפגישה

means something like but he came to the meeting anyway / nevertheless he came to the meeting.

It adds the idea that, despite being tired, he still came.

Yes. בא is tricky because with the verb לבוא (to come), the masculine singular present form and the past 3rd person masculine singular form are both written בא.

So בא can mean either:

• comes / is coming
• came

You usually know which one is meant from context.

In this sentence, the intended meaning is past: he came to the meeting.

This is a very common Hebrew feature, especially with a few irregular verbs.

The prefix ל־ usually means to or for.

With verbs like לבוא (to come), it often marks the destination or event:

• בא לפגישה = came to the meeting
• בא לשיעור = came to class
• בא לעבודה = came to work

So לפגישה means to a meeting or to the meeting, depending on context.

In unpointed Hebrew writing, it can be either.

That is because:

• ל־ + פגישה = to a meeting
• ל־ + ה־ + פגישה = to the meeting

But in normal Hebrew spelling without vowel marks, both end up written as לפגישה.

So you rely on context to know whether it is definite or indefinite. In this sentence, the meaning is understood as to the meeting.

Yes, Hebrew could sometimes leave it out, but repeating it is very natural here.

The sentence says:

• הוא נראה די עייף היום, אבל הוא בכל זאת בא לפגישה.

Repeating הוא makes the second clause feel clear and balanced. It is especially common after conjunctions like אבל.

A shorter version such as:

• הוא נראה די עייף היום, אבל בכל זאת בא לפגישה

is possible in some contexts, but it can sound a little less explicit. The version with the repeated הוא is smoother and more standard for learners to model.

Not completely, but this order is very natural.

Hebrew allows some flexibility, but בכל זאת is commonly placed before the verb phrase, as in:

• אבל הוא בכל זאת בא לפגישה

That sounds very normal.

You may also hear other orders in speech, but this version is a good standard pattern to learn: אבל + subject + בכל זאת + verb + complement.

So it is not the only possible order, but it is an excellent default.
