Meaning
Expressing joy or satisfaction upon seeing something or someone.
Cultural Background
In North Indian culture, this is often accompanied by a slight nod or a 'Namaste'. In corporate settings, this is a standard way to open a meeting after a long gap. It is considered rude to not acknowledge a guest's arrival with a warm greeting like this.
Focus on the 'Mujhe'
Remember that in Hindi, you don't 'have' the happiness; it 'happens' to you. Always start with 'मुझे'.
Use it for guests
This is the perfect phrase to use when a guest enters your home. It makes them feel instantly welcome.
