Today "Learn Thai By Sentences blog" is going to teach you the sentence about how to say if you just know someone and you want to say the word that you are glad to meet them.

If you are a man, you must say the following sentences:

I'm glad to meet you. 

Or in short form.

I'm glad to meet you.

However, if you are a woman, you have to speak with the sentences below:

chăn yin dee thi dâai róo jàk khun kâa 
I'm glad to meet you. 

Or in short form
