My name is Alicia, and in this lesson, we're going to talk about the verb meat.

The basic definition of the verb meat is to see and speak to someone for the first time.

OK, now let's look at the congregations of the verb present meat meets past meant past participle Met progressive meeting.

OK, now let's look at some additional meanings for the for.

The first additional meaning for today is to fulfill or achieve something examples.

This apartment meets all my requirements.

We met our company's sales goal for last month.

So in both of these examples, we see the verb meat being used to mean fulfilling or achieving something.

So, like this apartment needs all of my requirements.

This apartment fulfills all of my requirements.

Everything I require is in this apartment.

We met Our sales goal for the month means we achieved our sales goal for the month.

Okay, let's go to the second meaning of this for the second.

Meaning is to wait for someone or something.

I'll meet you in front of the restaurant.

So in both of these sentences, the idea is you're going to meet someone?

So maybe you know the meaning of the verb as in, like regularly meeting someone like I meet my mom for coffee once a week or I meet my friends for lunch once a week.

This is slightly different because the feeling here is you're going to a location to wait for someone like toe weight.

Kind of like to pick them up, to wait to get together with them and go somewhere with them.

You're going there, toe weight, meat, and then go.

But we just use the verb meat in this case.

Wait there for my mom to arrive and then go to another place like maybe come home with my mom.

In the second example sentence, I'll meet you in front of the restaurant.

It sounds like the speaker is going to go to the front of the restaurant, wait there for the listener and then proceed to you know, their meal, for example.

So we can use meat to mean waiting for someone or something at a specific place before they go to the next thing.

The third meaning for this firm is to join things together.

So two things or two or more things come together.

Examples of this The river meets the ocean here.

So the space where the two things come together, that's the place where they meet.

So thing a and thing be come together and meet right here.

So they're joining together there The same thing with the second sentence.

There's one point where they come together.

We can say the two paths met in the forest.

So things coming together like this, um, we can use the verb meat to describe that relationship.

Let's talk about some variations of this burb.

The first variation is to meet half way to meet halfway.

To meet halfway means to make a compromise or just to compromise.

Can we meet halfway regarding this issue?

I want to go hiking and you wanna have a picnic.

Let's meet halfway and have lunch in the park.

So the's air expressions we can use to refer to a compromise in my first example sentence.

Means can we make a compromise regarding this issue?

But meet halfway means make a compromise.

It's just a shorter way, kind of a little bit more friendly to meet halfway.

Sounds like maybe the speaker wants to compromise a little bit.

The speaker is willing to let go a little bit of their opinion or their side.

Another person wanted to have a picnic, and so the compromise was having lunch in the park.

Let's make a compromise and have lunch in the park so we can use meet halfway to refer to compromising between a couple of different ideas.

Because it's like if there are two opinions and they're completely different from each other, like imagine, on a line opinion and opinion be and right here halfway is the compromise point.

Let's meet at this compromise point and continue further, so meet halfway means compromise.

The next variation is to meet one's maker or to meet your maker.

It's an expression that means to die, but we tend to use it a little bit.

Uh, this sort of a strange thing to say, but we use it in sort of a funny way, So we don't really use this expression to talk seriously about death.

Okay, so in the first example, I said I sent that Spider to meet his maker.

This is an interesting way of saying I killed the spider, so I sent that spider to meet his maker.

Why do we say meet his maker or meet your maker?

This refers to a belief in God or belief in a higher power.

So the maker, being a person or question zippers And so the maker would be the being that created you that created this person that created this thing.

So to meet one's maker is to meet the person or to meet the thing or to meet the entity, whatever your belief is that created you or that created the thing that you're talking about.
