mmm "conoscerla" the a, is it used in both cases whether you're meeting a male or female?

the reason i ask is, cuz in spanish(since it's so similar) in this particular case, the 'A' would be used, only when greeting a woman.

Thanks a lot! ^^

God Bless.

@star18 Yes, you have to use always "conoscerla"(conoscere + Lei) because in the formal form italians use the third female person. You have to think that you are talking about a third person (she) when you use the formal form. For exemple:

Lei è bello/a ---> You (formal) are beautiful
