A typical English conversation would be: A: I'm... B: Nice/Good to meet you. I'm... A: Nice/Good to meet you, too. Most languages have something similar. Such phrases must be very frequent in any language? They often(?) express a certain respect for/interest in the other person. What is "nice to meet you" in Lojban? Can't find it. Maybe one of the following? .ui nelci .a'u je'e Cheers, Martin
