意思
Expressing happiness upon meeting someone.
文化背景
Russians value sincerity. 'Рад тебя видеть' is often accompanied by a firm handshake (between men) or a sincere smile. It is not just a polite filler. In Russian business, using 'Рад вас видеть' at the start of a second meeting helps build 'svyazi' (connections/networking). On Russian social media (VK, Telegram), this phrase is a common comment on photos to show you miss someone. When guests arrive at a Russian home, the host almost always says 'Рады вас видеть' as they offer slippers (tapochki).
Gender Check
Always remember: Men say 'Рад', Women say 'Рада'. It's the most common mistake for beginners!
The 'You' Trap
Don't use 'тебя' with people you don't know well. Use 'вас' to stay safe and polite.
