what is 'Lit' here? #1 (permalink) Fri May 15, 2009 5:04 am   what is 'Lit' here?		  
Hello everyone,
I am learning Japanese now, but I don't understant an English word 'Lit' in below sentence:

How do you do, I am Smith. [Lit: For the first time, (I) am Smith.]

does it mean 'read' and what is its full spelling?

Thank you very much
