Explanation
เจอ is a very common everyday verb. Its core idea is coming across or coming into contact with something. With a person, it means to meet; with an object or information, it means to find; with a problem or situation, it means to experience or run into it. In more formal writing, พบ is often preferred, but เจอ is the natural choice in ordinary speech.
Usage
Use it in everyday situations such as arranging to meet someone, running into a friend, finding a lost item, discovering a place, or dealing with a problem. แล้วเจอกัน is a standard conversational phrase meaning “See you” or “See you then.”
Caution
Do not memorize it only as “meet.” Check what follows the verb: a person, an object, or a situation. In formal reports or official writing, พบ may be more appropriate than เจอ.
