How to Say ‘I'm lucky to meet you.’ in Japanese
出合えてラッキーだ。
deae te rakkii da
[Deae Te]
💬 Usage Tip: [出合えて] uses the [〜て] form to connect "having met" with the result [ラッキーだ]. It has the feel of "I'm lucky to have met you" or "lucky that I got to meet you," which is warmer than a flat statement.
🇯🇵 In Japan: [ラッキー] makes this sound lighter and more casual than a heavy fate-and-destiny line. It can work as friendly flirting, though it is still more direct than people usually are with strangers in Japan.
