What does yoroshiku (gozaimasu) mean?


At first, I've learned that yoroshiku means nice to meet you. But then I saw
it used in different cases with different meanings. So what are these
meanings?




よろしく comes from the word 宜しい, which means good or acceptable, and came to be
used to express consent or convenience of the listener. As such, a rough
translation might be "if you find it acceptable" or "if it is convenient for
you ". For example, 「よろしくお願いします」 might, outside its use as a greeting, be
translated as "I would like to make this request if you find it tolerable".
