Signification
A formal way to express happiness about meeting someone.
Contexte culturel
In Iran, using this phrase is a sign of respect, especially when meeting someone older or in a position of authority. Similar to Iran, this is used in formal settings, though 'تشکر' (thank you) might be added to show extra politeness. While Persian-based, the influence of Russian has made greetings slightly more direct, but this phrase remains the gold standard for formal meetings.
Smile!
Persians value warmth. Even when being formal, a genuine smile makes the phrase much more effective.
Taarof
Don't be surprised if the other person replies with an even more formal phrase. It's part of the culture.
