意思
Used when meeting someone for the first time.
文化背景
Handshakes are common for both men and women in professional settings. Always make eye contact. Estonians value personal space. Don't hug or kiss on the cheek during a first meeting. Silence is not awkward. After saying 'Rõõm kohtuda', it's okay if there's a brief pause. Titles (like Dr. or Prof.) are rarely used in casual speech, but 'Teie' (formal you) is used with elders.
The 'õ' Secret
If you struggle with 'õ', try making an 'o' sound but pull your tongue back without moving your lips. That's the 'rõõm'!
Don't Over-smile
Estonians might find excessive grinning insincere. A calm, steady smile is much better.
