Aangenaam - Leuk je te leren kennen/Leuk je te ontmoeten


Explanation:
Depends on the situation:
- "Aangenaam" is more formal. "Aangename kennismaking" is also possible, but I personally would never use it spontaneously.
- "Leuk je te leren kennen" or "Leuk je te ontmoeten" is more colloquial.

agree  txaccuracy: "Aangename kennismaking" is something you would not use in Dutch. "Aangenaam" is much better.

Prettig kennis te maken


Explanation:
`Leuk je te ontmoeten' would also do. `Aangename kennismaking' would be too formal I guess. You could also use `Aangenaam' without further additions.
