合う

あう

I looked up my dictionaries, getting some ideas as below:


会う (逢うThese two words seem to be twin sisters. It's highly possible they are interchangeable. The idea seems to be referring to meeting with "people" rather than with other inanimate objects or incidents.Ex 1) またあした会いましょう。(Let's meet again tomorrow). It is people desiring to see each other face to face.Ex 2) 昨日 私は山田さんに 会いました (I met Yamada yesterday)


==================================


遭う Seems to be running into bad incidents, such as traffic accident or unexpected bad weather.Ex 3) 田中さんは 交通事故に遭ったそうです (I hear Tanaka ran into a traffic accident)Ex 4) 雨に降られて、ひどい目に遭いました (I was caught in the rain, and had a terrible time).===================================


合う may be one of the busiest words in Japanese, I came across it all the time.It has various meanings, but a general idea is about "fit, coincide, match".Ex 5) このくつは 私に 合いません(These shoes do not fit me)Ex 6) 私は 田中さんとは よく意見が合います(Tanaka and I often coincide in opinions, holding same views).
