Learning notes
Explanation
The phrase is made up of ยินดี (“to be pleased”), ที่ (introducing the reason for that feeling), ได้ (“to get the opportunity to”), and รู้จัก (“to know or become acquainted with someone”). Together, it literally conveys being pleased to have become acquainted. It functions much like “Nice to meet you” and is commonly said after introductions or toward the end of a first conversation. In polite speech, male speakers generally add ครับ and female speakers add ค่ะ.
Usage
Used after introductions, at business meetings, at school or social events, or when a friend introduces someone. It also works when meeting someone for the first time online. In reply, ยินดีที่ได้รู้จักเช่นกัน means “Nice to meet you too.”
Caution
Do not use this as a routine greeting for someone you already know. Also note that รู้จัก means to know or be acquainted with a person, place, or other entity, while รู้ is generally used for knowing facts or information.
