The verb 'incontrare' in Italian means 'to meet' in English. It is a transitive verb, which means it requires a direct object to complete its meaning.
When using 'incontrare', it is important to remember that the subject of the sentence is the person who does the meeting, while the direct object is the person or thing being met.
For example, 'Ho incontrato mio amico al parco' translates to 'I met my friend at the park'. In this sentence, 'ho incontrato' is the conjugated form of 'incontrare', and 'mio amico' is the direct object.
