🏭Cultural Context
First impressions matter deeply in Indonesian culture, and expressing pleasure at meeting someone sets a positive tone for the entire relationship. Indonesians often accompany this phrase with a warm handshake and genuine eye contact. In business settings, exchanging business cards with both hands while saying "senang bertemu" is standard protocol. The Indonesian approach to new relationships tends to be warm and personal rather than strictly professional -- even in business contexts, people want to know you as a person first. Building this personal connection, called "silaturahmi," is considered essential before any business discussion.
