معنی
A polite response after being introduced to someone.
زمینه فرهنگی
Handshakes are common when saying 'Labai malonu,' but they should be firm and brief. Eye contact is essential; avoiding it can seem suspicious. In Lithuanian business, 'Labai malonu' is often followed by the exchange of business cards. It marks the transition from 'strangers' to 'partners.' Younger Lithuanians might skip 'Labai malonu' in favor of a simple 'Labas' and a fist bump, but using the phrase still marks you as polite and well-educated. In high-level government meetings, the phrase is often expanded to 'Man didelė garbė ir malonumas' (It is a great honor and pleasure for me).
The Smile Factor
Lithuanians don't smile at strangers on the street, but when saying 'Labai malonu,' a small, sincere smile is expected and appreciated.
Gender Trap
Don't change 'malonu' to 'maloni' if you are a woman. It stays 'malonu' for everyone!
