معنی
A formal greeting when meeting someone for first time.
زمینه فرهنگی
Handshakes should be firm and accompanied by direct eye contact. Avoiding eye contact can be seen as suspicious or shy. The 'Vykanie' (formal) vs 'Tykanie' (informal) distinction is very important. Always start with 'vás' (formal) until the other person suggests 'ty' (informal). Titles are often used in introductions. If someone is a 'Docent' or 'Inžinier', it's polite to include that in your greeting. In business, it is common to exchange business cards immediately after the 'Teší ma' greeting.
The 'Aj mňa' Rule
If someone says 'Teší ma' to you first, the most natural response is 'Aj mňa' (Me too).
Don't forget the comma
In writing, always put a comma before 'že'. It's a strict rule in Slovak grammar.
