Welcome to the forum. I'm unsure of what you're asking. Which word in comparison to what? Or are you asking how to say "to meet someone for the first time"? - Goldie_Miel, Jan 23, 2012

I would go with "conocer" =) - NikkiLR, Jan 23, 2012

Answer 2

The verb used for meeting someone is conocer. If you want to say that you met someone for the first time, you could say: Conocí a (name) por primera vez. Or just conjugate "conocer" for whatever tense and person you desire to use.
