Ми часто бачимося в кафе після роботи.

Бачимося is the 1st person plural form of бачитися.

The ending -ся often makes a verb reflexive, but in this kind of sentence it gives the idea of seeing each other or meeting up. So:

• ми бачимо = we see
• ми бачимося = we see each other / we meet

In this sentence, бачимося is the natural choice because the subject is ми and the meaning is reciprocal.

Because бачимо without -ся normally needs a direct object:

• Ми часто бачимо його = We often see him
• Ми часто бачимо місто = We often see the city

If you say Ми часто бачимо в кафе після роботи, it sounds incomplete, because it suggests we often see something/someone in the café after work.

To say we see each other, Ukrainian uses бачимося.

Here в means in, showing location, so it normally takes the locative case.

However, кафе is an indeclinable noun, so its form does not change. That means the locative looks exactly the same as the dictionary form:

• кафе
• в кафе

So even though the function is locative, the word itself stays кафе.

Because the preposition після requires the genitive case.

The noun робота changes in the genitive singular:

• nominative: робота
• genitive: роботи

So:

• після роботи = after work

This is a very common pattern in Ukrainian:

• після уроку = after the lesson
• після обіду = after lunch
• після роботи = after work

Часто is an adverb meaning often. In Ukrainian, adverbs are fairly flexible in position, but putting часто before the verb is very natural:

• Ми часто бачимося...

This is similar to English We often see each other...

Other word orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Часто ми бачимося в кафе після роботи
• Ми бачимося часто в кафе після роботи

But Ми часто бачимося... is the most neutral and natural version.

Yes, very often you can.

Because бачимося already shows 1st person plural, Ukrainian does not always need the pronoun:

• Часто бачимося в кафе після роботи.

This still clearly means We often see each other in a café after work.

However, ми may be included:

• for clarity
• for emphasis
• for contrast

For example:

• Ми часто бачимося, а вони — ні.
  We often see each other, but they don’t.

No, Ukrainian word order is relatively flexible.

The neutral order here is:

• Ми часто бачимося в кафе після роботи.

But you can move parts around for emphasis:

• Після роботи ми часто бачимося в кафе.
• В кафе ми часто бачимося після роботи.
• Часто ми бачимося в кафе після роботи.

The basic meaning stays the same, but the focus changes slightly. English usually has stricter word order than Ukrainian.

In this sentence, в and у both mean in, and both are possible:

• в кафе
• у кафе

The choice is often based on sound and ease of pronunciation, not meaning. Ukrainian commonly alternates between в and у to avoid awkward sound combinations.

So both of these are natural:

• Ми часто бачимося в кафе після роботи.
• Ми часто бачимося у кафе після роботи.

It can suggest either, depending on context.

In a sentence like this, Ми часто бачимося в кафе після роботи, it usually means:

• we often see each other
• we often meet up

So it is not always a literal visual see. It often describes a repeated social meeting.

That is why this sentence sounds natural for people who regularly get together after work.

Because Ukrainian has no articles.

English says:

• in a café
• after work
• the café

Ukrainian simply uses the noun without articles:

• в кафе
• після роботи

Whether the meaning is a café, the café, or cafés in general is understood from context.

Because часто describes a repeated, habitual action, and Ukrainian normally uses the imperfective aspect for that.

Бачитися is imperfective, so it fits well with:

• часто = often
• repeated meetings
• ongoing habit

A perfective verb would usually suggest a single completed event, which would not match often very naturally.

So Ми часто бачимося... is the expected choice for We often see each other...

It is singular.

The base noun is робота = work / job.
After після, it becomes genitive singular:

• робота → роботи

So після роботи means after work, not after works.

In this expression, Ukrainian works much like English: work is understood as the workday or work in general.

Yes. In many contexts, English at a café and in a café are both natural, and Ukrainian в кафе can cover that same general idea.

So depending on context, this phrase may be translated as:

• in a café
• at a café

The Ukrainian sentence itself is completely natural either way.
