In Portuguese we say:

Muito prazer (nice to meet you)
Qual é o seu nome? (What is your name?)

Azerbaijani: Tanı ş olduğ uma  ş adam.

 

And how can I say it in German? Could anyone help me?

Isn't "privet" a less formal form to greet someone, like "hi" in english ? Shouldn't "hello" be translated as.. oh sh*t, I don't have a russian keyboard and I don't know how to type it with the "normal" alphabet. "Zdra-something"... Well, anyway, back to the french translation. I would have said "Enchantée de faire votre connaissance" but a friend of mine used "Ravi ...", should mean both can be used. Anyway, it's really formal. Less formal is simply "Enchanté(e)" (!! do mind the "e" ! You can't hear it, but if you write it down, use it only when it's a female speaking, of course). But you can just use "Bonjour", it works even with higher ranked, or older, or whatever people. For "What's your name?" I've never heard a french person asking "Quel est ton nom ?". It sounds too much like what a foreigner would say. The sentence we use is "Comment tu t'appelles ?" (while "Comment t'appelles-tu ?" is the right phrasing gramatically speaking, we often don't use the inversion when speaking) or, if you speak to somebody to whom you owe some respect, you would use the "vouvoiement" : "Comment vous appelez-vous ?".[br][edited by anaba on 2005-10-11 17:22:45]

In Spanish: "Encantado de conocerte" or "Mucho gusto"

I'd have said "ravi(e) de t'avoir rencontré" .... but both are right

Hi! The french for "nice to meet you" is "enchantée de faire votre connaissance" or simply "echantée" For "What is your name", the french is "Comment t'appelles-tu?" or "Quel est ton nom?". in Portuguese we have to say "Como se chama?" or "cual é o seu nome?". In Spanish they say "Como se llama?"
