Polite phrase after meeting someone
Contexto cultural
Handshakes are common but should be firm. Men usually wait for a woman to extend her hand first. If she doesn't, a polite nod and the phrase are sufficient. In southern regions like Lankaran, hospitality is even more formal. You might hear 'Sizinlə tanışlıq bizə şərəfdir' (Meeting you is an honor for us). In Baku, the Russian influence sometimes leads to the use of 'Ochen priyatno' (Very pleasant), but 'Sizinlə tanış olmağıma şadam' remains the patriotic and correct choice. Exchanging business cards is done with the right hand or both hands. Saying the phrase while receiving the card is a sign of high 'etiket'.
The 'Mən də' Rule
If someone says this to you first, simply reply 'Mən də sizinlə tanış olmağıma şadam' or the shorter 'Mən də şadam'.
Eye Contact
In Azerbaijan, avoiding eye contact while saying this can seem suspicious or shy. Look them in the eye!
