뜻
Said when meeting someone for the first time.
문화적 배경
Handshaking is mandatory. When saying 'Me veseli,' a firm grip and looking the person in the eye is a sign of honesty and respect. In business, wait for the higher-ranking person or the host to initiate the introduction and the 'Me veseli' greeting. In villages, introductions are often followed by 'Od kod si?' (Where are you from?), as local identity is very important. Younger Slovenians might use 'Me veseli' less formally, often replacing the handshake with a wave or a 'fist bump' in very casual settings.
The 'Tudi Mene' Trick
If you forget how to say 'Nice to meet you too,' just say 'Tudi mene.' It's short and perfectly polite.
Don't over-conjugate
Keep 'veseli' in the 3rd person singular. Don't try to change it to match yourself.

Smile!
