2. Shook hands with dad, or papa.
3. It means nice to meet you.
4. I think it means, “Therefore, I shook hands with my dad. Nice to meet you, dad.”

I’m still a beginner, so I had to look up what 握手 was. Is that cheating, xD? I’m happy that I was able to understand that sentence, except one thing.

1) So; therefore
2) Shook hands with Papa
3) Lit: Beginning; usage: “Pleased to meet you.”
4) So I shook hands with Papa. I’m pleased to meet you.

1. I’d translated it as “that’s why”.
2. I think it means “I shaked hands with my father”.
3. If I’m not mistaken, it means “Nice to meet you”. It’s used when introducing yourself.
4. I’d translate the whole sentence as “That’s why I shaked hands with my father. Nice to meet you, father”.
[update]
1. Failed, but not too much, I think.
2. Close enough, I think.
3. Seems fine.
4. Well, all in all, I’d say close enough.
