Po pogrzebie spotykamy się.

Because the preposition po normally requires the locative case when it means after in expressions of time.

So:

• pogrzeb = funeral
• po pogrzebie = after the funeral

The ending changes from -eb to -ebie because pogrzeb is a masculine noun, and its locative singular form is pogrzebie.

Similar examples:

• po obiedzie = after lunch
• po meczu = after the match
• po pracy = after work

Here po means after.

In Polish, po can have several meanings depending on context, but in this sentence it is clearly temporal:

• Po pogrzebie = After the funeral

It can also mean things like along, around, or for, in other expressions, so learners often need to rely on context.

Spotykamy się means we meet or we are meeting.

The verb is spotykać się, which means to meet (each other). The się is part of the verb and is very important here.

Without się, spotykać usually means to meet someone / to encounter someone as a transitive verb, for example:

• Spotykam kolegę. = I meet my friend.

But:

• Spotykam się z kolegą. = I am meeting my friend / I meet up with my friend.

In your sentence, spotykamy się means we meet / we’re meeting, with the sense that the people are meeting each other.

Polish often uses the present tense to talk about a planned or arranged future event, especially in everyday speech.

So Spotykamy się po pogrzebie can mean:

• We’re meeting after the funeral
• We meet after the funeral

This is similar to English sentences like:

• We’re meeting after the funeral
• I’m seeing him tomorrow

So even though the form is present, the meaning can be future because the context makes that clear.

Yes, Po pogrzebie spotkamy się is also possible.

The difference is aspect:

• spotykamy się = imperfective
• spotkamy się = perfective

In this kind of sentence:

• spotykamy się often sounds like a planned arrangement: we’re meeting
• spotkamy się sounds more like a simple future fact: we will meet

In many real-life contexts, both are natural. A learner should mainly notice that Polish can use either form, depending on nuance and style.

By itself, spotykamy się can mean either:

1. we are meeting / we’re going to meet once, in context
2. we meet regularly

For example:

• W piątki spotykamy się w kawiarni. = We meet in a café on Fridays.
• Po pogrzebie spotykamy się. = We’re meeting after the funeral.

So the surrounding context tells you whether it is habitual or a one-time planned event.

Yes. Polish word order is more flexible than English.

All of these are possible:

• Po pogrzebie spotykamy się.
• Spotykamy się po pogrzebie.
• Po pogrzebie się spotykamy.

They all mean roughly the same thing, but the emphasis changes slightly.

• Po pogrzebie spotykamy się puts early focus on after the funeral
• Spotykamy się po pogrzebie sounds very natural and neutral too
• Po pogrzebie się spotykamy can sound more contrastive or emphatic, depending on intonation

For a learner, Po pogrzebie spotykamy się and Spotykamy się po pogrzebie are the safest patterns.

Yes, pogrzeb is the normal standard word for funeral. It is neither unusually formal nor unusually casual.

Examples:

• Byłem na pogrzebie. = I was at the funeral.
• Po pogrzebie wróciliśmy do domu. = After the funeral, we went home.

So it is a very standard everyday word for this situation.

A rough English-friendly guide:

• po ≈ poh
• pogrzebie ≈ po-GZHE-byeh
• spotykamy ≈ spo-ty-KA-my
• się is roughly like shyeng or sheng, depending on accent and how carefully someone speaks

A few pronunciation notes:

• rz often sounds like the s in measure
• ę is a nasal vowel, but in everyday speech its pronunciation can vary depending on what follows
• się is often pronounced a bit more simply in fast speech than a textbook spelling might suggest

A natural pronunciation of the whole sentence is approximately:

Po pogrzebie spotykamy się
≈ poh po-GZHE-byeh spo-ty-KA-my sheng

Normally, no. In this sentence, po pogrzebie most naturally means after the funeral, referring to a specific funeral understood from context.

If you wanted a more general meaning like after funerals, you would usually need extra context or a different wording.

So the default interpretation is specific, not generic.

Yes, the subject pronoun my = we is omitted, because Polish usually does not need subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows the subject.

• spotykamy already tells you it is we
• so my is unnecessary unless you want emphasis

Compare:

• Po pogrzebie spotykamy się. = We’re meeting after the funeral.
• Po pogrzebie my się spotykamy. = We’re the ones meeting after the funeral. / We meet after the funeral.

So the basic sentence is completely normal without my.
