How to Say ‘Nicely / pleased to meet you’ in Japanese
よろしく
yoroshiku
[yoroshiku]
💬 Usage Tip: [よろしく] often appears with [お願いします] as a fixed expression, and the full phrase means more than the literal words suggest. Use it at the start or end of an interview to mean something like "I appreciate your help / please treat me favorably."
