Nice to meet you in Swahili?

There are a few ways to say "Nice to meet you" in Swahili, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Nimefurahi kukutana nawe. (This is the most common and polite way to say it.)

* Kumekuwaje? (This translates to "How are you?", and is a polite way to start a conversation.)

Informal:

* Samahani, nimefurahi kukutana nawe. (This is a less formal version, including "excuse me".)

* Hongera kukutana nawe. (This literally translates to "Congratulations on meeting you", and is used with friends or people you know well.)

To add emphasis:

* Nimefurahi sana kukutana nawe. (This means "I am very happy to meet you.")

To respond:

* Mimi pia. (This means "Me too".)

It's always best to err on the side of politeness and use the formal greeting unless you're sure the situation is informal.
