-. .. -.-. . / - --- / -- . . - / -.-- --- ..-

"Nice to meet you" is the polite greeting for a first introduction, and in Morse it's the longest greeting in this set: -. .. -.-. . / - --- / -- . . - / -.-- --- ..- . Four short words make a friendly, flowing message that's a small milestone to send in full. It's a rewarding phrase to learn once you've mastered shorter greetings and want to string words together.

Four words. "Nice" runs -. .. -.-. ., "to" is a quick - ---, "meet" is -- . . - with two single-dot E's in the middle, and "you" closes on -.-- --- ..-. The two E's in "meet" sit side by side like a pair of soft taps, and the short connective "to" gives the phrase a little hop in its middle.
