"تَشَرَّفْنا."

Translation: It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ziliya]

Literally it means (roughly): "you make us privileged/honored"

[angus390025]

excellent! I was about to ask why it has the naa ending but that would explain it. (so it might be translated as "you honor us")

[OrnellaCar462688]

ok I got it thanks

[Doobietron]

Lots of alternate ways to say the same thing (good to meet you, nice to meet you, etc)

[544D]

I'm honored

[EthanHayne7]

We are honored

[Sikeryali]

تشرفتُ بمعرفتك، تشرفتُ بلقائك
First person singular

تشرفنا بمعرفتك، تشرفنا بلقائك
First person plural

[_FiX_]

just to add:
both examples while addressing a second person masculine singular :) (assuming a fat7ah on the ك)

[Sikeryali]

And a kasra on ك while addressing the same feminine.

تشرفنا بمعرفتكِ

[AlonBrand]

Sherif=honourable, so I guess literally it means "you are doing us honour", right?

[_FiX_]

yes but in the past tense and passive.

'we have been honored.'

[Djibril487949]

So is this something you could say to someone you already know (albeit formally), not just the first time (as "pleased to meet you" in English would imply)?

[MangoFanda]

Is "A pleasure to meet you" a valid answer?

[GrahamWhit324102]

I answered "A pleasure to meet you", and duolingo says this is WRONG. The right answer, it seems, is
"It's a pleasure to meet you". Now these two English sentences have, as far as I can tell (and I'm a native speaker), the SAME MEANING. So how one can be right and the the other be wrong? Tell me, please, duolingo, what weird variety of English are you using?

[Sikeryali]

سررت بلقائك

[Ina589468]

Shouldn't it be :"pleased to meet you"?

[Feecar]

Does this apply to both genders?

[Slitinsky]

What would be the best or polite reply?

[_FiX_]

This is very formal.

The common response would be 'The honor is mine.' (assuming the first person is a single masculine or feminine)
الشرفُ لي

alsharafu lii

[OrnellaCar462688]

Tasharrafna (-a) address to us the pleasure, isn't it? so could be: we are pleased?

[Shivam582499]

Just one word could mean such a long sentence...

[SherriEllington]

"It's an honor to meet you."
