Definition​

The phrasal verb "bump into" primarily has two distinct meanings. Firstly, it means to meet someone unexpectedly or by chance, without any prior arrangement or intention. This often refers to an unplanned encounter with an acquaintance, friend, or someone you know in a public or private setting. The second meaning refers to the act of physically colliding with something or someone accidentally, often due to a lack of attention, clumsiness, or an unforeseen movement. This physical impact is typically minor and unintentional, not intended to cause harm but rather a sudden, light contact.
