what's the difference


*I just started learning these and they really confused me whats the difference between (Douzo yoroshiku) and Hajimemashite.




hajimemashite is used when you meet someone for the first time. It's usually
translated as 'nice to meet you'. Here's a video (second one) with cute
examples: <https://www.erin.jpf.go.jp/jp/lesson/01/key-phrases/> By the way:
hajimeru means 'to start/begin'. This could help you remember that you use
hajimemashite when you meet someone for the first time - you're starting a new
relationship.

douzo yoroshiku (onegai shimasu) could be translated somewhat (but not
exactly) as 'I am counting on you in the future', or 'please be nice to me'.
Rather than just saying that it's nice to meet this person, you're expressing
that you hope you'll get along well. You can also use this expression when
you're asking for a favor.

Hope this is clear and helpful! Good luck with your Japanese studies.
