How to Say “Nice to Meet You, Ladies” in Spanish

mucho gusto, señoras
In Spanish, "nice to meet you, ladies" is expressed as mucho gusto, señoras.
This phrase is a polite greeting used when meeting a group of women for the first time.

Which one should you use?

If you were addressing a group of men or a mixed-gender group, you would use señores instead of señoras.

Did you know?

  • In some Spanish-speaking cultures, the phrase mucho gusto is traditionally accompanied by a light handshake. However, in many social settings, it is common to accompany this greeting with a single kiss on the right cheek.
  • Although they look nearly identical, the English word 'much' and the Spanish mucho are completely unrelated and come from different linguistic roots.
  • The word gusto comes from the Latin word for 'taste'. This is why the same root is used in English for words like 'gustatory' and 'disgust'.

Examples in context

  • Mucho gusto, señoras. ¿Cómo están?
    Nice to meet you, ladies. How are you?
