This is the answer I was looking and no one told, I was amazed because it is so common in Spanish although in Spanish we change the subject to "yo tambien"

"you too" is most appropriate short answer. " Me too" is 100% wrong.

When responding to "Nice to meet you", you can reply formally, "It's a pleasure meeting you as well" or informally "Same here."
When meeting business officials, we must take into consideration, we don't know the person, one could reply, "Thank you, sir/ma'am, it's nice to meet your acquaintance."
Of course, within an informal setting, "Thanks, you too" or "You as well". Keep in mind your setting, you'll know how to respond.

You can say "It was lovely to meet you too", If you hope to see the person again you might include " I hope to see you again" or " I look forward to meeting you again".If you are just responding to an exchange of greetings keep it brief, and friendly. If you smile when you say "It was lovely to meet you" it will make the person feel very good!

Dear Tutor, how should I reply to a person telling me "nice to meet you...Dear Tutor,how should I reply to a person telling me "nice to meet you" to show my appreciation in meeting him/her?Me too? nice to meet you?Thank you in advancePaolo
As the first you made a mistake in the first sentence. It soposed to be like this: How should I can reply to a person who is telling me : Nice to meet you!And the answer has many variations, but the most common is : I am glad to meet you too.

Don't correct someone when your grammar is worse. Soposed = SupposedHow should I can reply to a person who is telling me :Nice to meet you! = How should I respond to someone addressing me with "Nice to meet you!"?To place "I am glad to meet you too." in a more formal structure; "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well." is far more appropriate - or something along the lines of the said structure. "I am glad to meet you too." doesn't sound very sophisticated and it's a rather lazy and automatic response to the point where it doesn't feel very genuine or personal. This isn't hating, it's a critic.

I have just heard that ,t is wrong to say "me too" is it so? look at below is it true? I wouldn't use “Me too,” though--it sounds like you mean “It's nice to meet me too,” which lacks a certain logical progression (though I could see how this might be useful for meeting to your alter ego in the mirror for the first time).

I am told that it is wrong ro say me too instead you too is suggested : I wouldn't use “Me too,” though--it sounds like you mean “It's nice to meet me too,” which lacks a certain logical progression (though I could see how this might be useful for meeting to your alter ego in the mirror for the first time).

"Me too" is correct because " is me " (who is nice to meet you as well). We put the object pronoun (me) after the verb "to be".

Alright, let me dive into this sea of language expertise. Looking at the array of responses to Paolo's question, it's evident that there's a consensus on the most suitable replies when someone says, "Nice to meet you." The seasoned tutors are singing from the same hymn sheet, and here's the distilled wisdom:
-
"Nice to meet you too": The absolute classic. Simple, friendly, and universally accepted.
-
"Thank you. It's very nice to meet you as well": Adding a touch of gratitude to acknowledge the pleasant encounter.
-
"Me too": This one's a bit polarizing. Some say it's incorrect, while others argue it's perfectly fine. The debate continues.
-
"It was a pleasure to meet you": Elevating the response to express not just niceties but a genuine sense of pleasure.
-
"The pleasure was mine": Turning the tables and letting the other person know that the speaker also found the meeting delightful.
-
"Likewise": A succinct way of reciprocating the sentiment.
-
"Same here": Informal, yet widely accepted. It keeps things casual and straightforward.
-
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well": Adding a formal touch to the acknowledgment.
-
"Nice meeting you as well": Keeping it simple and brief, a solid option for various situations.
So, whether you prefer the timeless "Nice to meet you too" or opt for a more elaborate expression like "The pleasure was mine," you've got a plethora of options to navigate the social intricacies of meeting someone new. Keep it genuine, and you're good to go!
