Many of my students use "It's nice to meet you" as a greeting when they actually mean "It's nice to see you." In English, the two phrases have two clearly distinctive meanings. I'm assuming that they are using a literal translation of "见面." Is there a major difference in how 见面 or 看见 are used in Chinese? I'd like to make the differences in English clear but I want to make sure I am using clear examples in Chinese.
My students aren't English majors (and this year, none of them were undergraduate English majors either!) so subtle distinctions aren't that easy for them to understand.
Thanks.
I guess I'm looking for the best way to explain to my students the difference between "It's nice to meet you" vs "It's nice to see you." There's a very clear difference in English . . . is there a clear difference in Chinese?
In other words, what would the Chinese be for "It's nice to meet you" (first time meeting)?
What would be the Chinese for "It's nice to see you" (used when you see someone on the street as you are out shopping, etc.)?

Today I went to the mountains to see flowers
I didn’t want to go at first because it takes 3 hours to get there
Because of traffic jams it was a longer trip than we expected, the trip was very tiring
But when we got there it was all worth it
We went to 2 different parks to look at flowers
From a distance the flowers looks like they were painted on the ground
There were many different flowers; lilies, poppies, roses, daffodils etc.
The flowers were all different colours
They were the prettiest flowers we’ve seen

I came here in China for my Phd Studies. This is my first time to be in China. I love Chinese language studies. I love Chinese people. China and my country have been a long time friends. They have built up a railway from Tanzania to Zambia in 1969. Long live Tanzania. Long live china.

I have a Chinese friend/penpal that has a name I have never in my life heard before, and I have no clue how to pronounce it. It's Me Zhumuting. How would you pronounce it? And which name would I refer to her as, Me or Zhumuting? I'm American, so that's not the order I'd put it in, which confuses me, and I'm wondering if it'd be more polite to call her by her family name or her given name.
Thanks.

I was wondering what this meant exactly. This is a Chinese name I was given. I am not entirely sure if I wrote it correctly. It is supposed to say something like Mae Wah. Or in Romanization it might look like Mei hua?
My sister is similar. I was hoping if you could help me tell me how to write. Mei Li? As in pretty beautiful? I think that is the meaning of her name.
Thanks.
People have told me it means USA China.
