    What it means

    Literally “it is pleasant for me to meet you.” Means “nice to meet you” — the standard Polish phrase when being introduced to someone for the first time.

    Vocabulary

    • miło — pleasant / nice
    • mi — to me (dative of 'ja')
    • cię — you (accusative of 'ty')
    • poznać — to meet / to get to know (perfective)

    Grammar note

    An impersonal construction — 'miło mi' (it is pleasant to me). 'Cię' is the short accusative of 'ty'. The more formal version uses 'pana/panią' instead of 'cię'.
