Lì (adverb of place)
Indicates a specific location, roughly 'there' in English.

Used with verbs to express that the subjects act on each other; here it makes 'incontrare' reciprocal: 'they meet each other'.

Third‑person plural present of 'incontrare' (to meet).
tutti (indefinite pronoun)
Means 'everyone' or 'all people'; it functions as the logical subject of the verb.

✕Common Mistakes
Lì incontrano tutti.
Missing the reciprocal pronoun 'si' makes the sentence sound like 'They meet everyone there', which changes the meaning.
Lì si incontrano tutti noi.
Adding 'noi' is redundant because 'tutti' already includes the speaker; it sounds unnatural.
Lì si incontrano tutti lì.
Repeating 'lì' is unnecessary; the adverb only needs to appear once.
↔Alternatives

Everyone meets there.
Tutti si ritrovano lì.
Everyone gathers there.
Lì è il punto d'incontro di tutti.
That is everyone's meeting point.
Cultural Tip
In Italy, public squares (piazze), local cafés, or even a specific bench in a park often become informal meeting spots. Saying 'Lì si incontrano tutti' conveys a relaxed, familiar tone—perfect for friends or community groups, but avoid it in very formal business contexts where you’d specify the venue more precisely.
