How to Say “Nice to Meet You” in Twi

By Hugh Roger • Updated October 2, 2026

mehuu wo no yɛ me fɛ

mehuu wo no yɛ me fɛ is the Twi way to say "nice to meet you".

This phrase is a polite expression used to convey that you are happy to meet someone for the first time.

What does it mean word for word?

Literally, the phrase translates to "I saw you and it is pleasing to me".

Did you know?

In some Ghanaian dialects, a variation of this greeting might be paired with a right-hand gesture, as using the left hand during an introduction is considered disrespectful.
The word for 'pleasing' in this phrase, fɛ, is also the root for words related to beauty and aesthetics in Twi.
Because the phrase uses the past tense mehuu (I saw), it implies that the pleasure of the meeting began the moment your eyes first met.

Example conversation

Akwaaba! My name is Hugh. I've found a unique passion in studying Twi, the beautiful and rich language of Ghana. When I am not immersed in the world of linguistics, you'll probably find me exploring Ghanaian culture, marveling at the intricate patterns of Kente cloth or experimenting with the delicious flavors of banku and okro stew. My other interests include hiking and bird watching, as inspired by the unique biodiversity of Ghana. Wo ho te sɛn? I hope it's as great as mine because of our shared interest in Twi. Yɛbɛhyia bio! ("We'll meet again!")
