Questions & Answers about Скорее всего, мы встретимся в парке.

What does Скорее всего mean?

Скорее всего is an idiomatic adverbial phrase meaning most likely or in all probability. Literally it’s close to “rather likely,” but in modern Russian it conveys a strong expectation that something will happen.

Why is there a comma after Скорее всего?

Because Скорее всего functions like an introductory or parenthetical phrase. In Russian, such phrases (analogous to “probably” or “likely” in English) are usually set off with a comma before the main clause.

Why is встретимся a reflexive verb ending in -ся?

The verb is встретиться, and the -ся suffix makes it reflexive, indicating a mutual action: “to meet each other.” Without -ся, встретить would mean “to meet” in the sense of “to greet” or “to encounter” someone, not “to get together.”

Why is встретимся in the future tense rather than the present?

Russian has two aspects: perfective and imperfective. Встретиться is perfective, so it doesn’t have a present tense—it only forms a future tense (встретимся) to express a single, completed action. The imperfective counterpart встречаться would form a present tense (мы встречаемся) but that implies a habitual or ongoing meeting, not a one-time future plan.
