I agree with Natkretep.I think that would sound unnatural. I would expect a response that parallels the one given: 'Nice to meet you too'. I might even say 'Likewise'.
Welcome to the forum!Could I use "it's my pleasure" to respond to "nice to meet you" when I'm introduced to someone?
The risk is to be thought to be sarcastic. I've been accused (rightfully) of sarcasm frequently.Could I use "it's my pleasure" to respond to "nice to meet you" wheni'mI'm introduced to someone?
Thanks
Could I use "It's my pleasure" or "It's a pleasure" in this context?Could I use "it's my pleasure" to respond to "nice to meet you" when i'm introduced to someone?
Thanks
I wouldn't.Could I use "It's my pleasure" or "It's a pleasure" in this context?
-I'd like to introduce you to my father.
-It's my/a pleasure,sir.
Thank you for your help.
I wouldn't.
Where I come from we say It's a pleasure when someone thanks us for something, particularly something for which you feel thanks aren't necessary.
Don't say It's my pleasure. That sounds too self-important to be sufferable.
That would be fine, as long as you knew of the person before.Would "It's a pleasure to meet you" be a better answer?
Thank you!
So, if it is the first time I meet someone, would "It's a pleasure to meet you" be wrong?That would be fine, as long as you knew of the person before.
Notice I said 'knew of' the person.So, if it is the first time I meet someone, would "It's a pleasure to meet you" be wrong?
Thanks again for your replies
If it is someone you've heard about or know about then "pleased to [finally] meet you" is fine. Otherwise I say, "Nice to meet you" or "Good to meet you".Does the following dialogue sound natural?
- Pleased to meet you.
- My pleasure!
This would be an unusual exchange, so no, it's not 'natural', not in my prosaic world. These everyday exchanges are set formulae, so departures from them can easily strike a wrong note.- Pleased to meet you
- My pleasure!
It's the response which sounds a little unnatural to me. "Pleased to meet you" is ordinary enough, especially in a semi-formal setting, but I'd respond with something like "Likewise".Does the following dialogue sound natural?
- Pleased to meet you.
- My pleasure!
