How do you say good to meet in Portuguese?

There are a few ways to say "good to meet you" in Portuguese, depending on the formality of the situation:

Formal:

* Prazer em conhecê-lo/conhecê-la. (Pleasure to meet you.) - This is the most common and polite way to say it.

* É um prazer conhecê-lo/conhecê-la. (It's a pleasure to meet you.) - This is a slightly more formal way to say it.

Informal:

* Prazer em te conhecer. (Pleasure to meet you.) - This is the informal way to say it, using "te" instead of "lo/la."

* Que bom te conhecer. (Nice to meet you.) - This is a very informal way to say it.

You can also use "Prazer em conhecê-lo/conhecê-la" followed by the person's name:

* Prazer em conhecê-lo, João. (Pleasure to meet you, João.)

Remember to use the correct gender pronoun for the person you are speaking to:

* lo for a male

* la for a female

* te for both male and female in the informal context

It's always a good idea to be polite and use the formal version unless you know the person well.
