Significado
A polite phrase used when meeting someone for the first time.
Contexto cultural
Bowing is almost always paired with this phrase. The depth of the bow depends on the formality of the situation. Exchanging business cards (myeongham) is a ritual. You say '반갑습니다' while handing over or receiving the card with both hands. Students use '반갑습니다' to show respect to professors or teachers they are meeting for the first time. On a first date, '반갑습니다' is used to break the ice and show politeness before moving to more casual conversation.
The Bow
Always pair '반갑습니다' with a slight nod or bow. It makes the phrase 100% more authentic.
Don't Overuse
Don't say it to the same person every day. It will sound like you have amnesia!
