Thnx!! "Kiva tavata" really sounds less pretentious than "hauska tutustua"!

"Hauska tavata" is perhaps the most neutral expression for "nice to meet you".
"Hauska tutustua" actually means more like "It was nice to get to know you", so it may have a bit too strong connotations to be used after a casual meeting, or after meeting someone you already know. That's why it is much more rare.
