As a learner at the beginning of your Russian language journey, the first things you’re going to need to know are the Russian alphabet<\/a> and how to say hello and goodbye.<\/p>\n

You’re probably already familiar with the word <\/span>\u041f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0435\u0442<\/b> [pree-VYET], which can be translated into English as \u201chi\u201d. However, that is not the only way to exchange greetings in Russian. Also, the usage of \u201cprivet\u201d is much more limited than its English equivalent. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the English-speaking world, \u201chi\u201d can be used in a casual business setting, when saluting a stranger, etc. \u201cPrivet\u201d in Russian is reserved for friends and family. In a business context, you would never use \u201cprivet\u201d, even when you exchange emails back and forth, unless you are on informal terms with the person you are writing to.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Saying<\/p>\n

Russian Greetings and Farewells<\/b><\/h2>\n

Let us bring into focus the ways to say hello and goodbye in Russian and shed some light on when certain greetings and farewells can be used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we do, it\u2019s necessary to brush up on basic Russian speech etiquette. As a new learner of the language you probably know that, unlike in English, Russian has a polite form for addressing a single person: <\/span>\u0412\u044b<\/b>\u00a0 [vih].<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0412\u044b<\/b> coincides with the plural form <\/span>\u0432\u044b<\/b>\u00a0[vih] as opposed to the informal form of <\/span>\u0442\u044b<\/b>\u00a0[tih]. \u00a0If you know some French or German, you can draw parallels between <\/span>\u0412\u044b<\/b> in Russian and the polite forms \u201cvouz\u201d<\/span> in French or \u201csie\u201d in German. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the existence of the polite form, there is a special way to greet a stranger or a person whom you address formally using <\/span>\u0432\u044b<\/b>, a business partner or a senior person: <\/span>\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435<\/b> [zdrah-STVOOY-tee], which is a Russian equivalent of the word hello. <\/span>The meaning of this word goes back to the end of the 17<\/span>th<\/span> century, and by greeting this way you actually wish a person good health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can use the same word to greet a group of people, irrespective of their age. To say hello to a single person whom you address informally (using <\/span>\u0442\u044b<\/b>) you can use the following two variants:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439 <\/b>[ZDRAH-stvooy]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0417\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e! <\/b>[zda-ROH-va]<\/span><\/p>\n

Or<\/span><\/p>\n

\u041f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0435\u0442 <\/b>[pree-VYET]<\/span><\/p>\n

All three words can be translated into English as \u201chi\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Greeting Depending on the Time of the Day<\/b><\/h2>\n

Just like in English, you can say hello in Russian by referring to the time of the day when you meet a person:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0414\u043e\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0435 \u0443\u0442\u0440\u043e!<\/b>\u00a0[DOHB-ruh-ee OO-truh] – Good morning (used until noon).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0414\u043e\u0431\u0440\u044b\u0439 \u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c!<\/b>\u00a0[DOHB- rihy dyen\u2019] \u2013 Good afternoon (it can be used throughout the day, during the working hours and is acceptable in a business correspondence).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0414\u043e\u0431\u0440\u044b\u0439 \u0432\u0435\u0447\u0435\u0440! <\/b>[DOHB-rihy VEE-cheer] \u2013 Good evening (used in the evening).<\/span><\/p>\n

These phrases can be used in both formal and informal greetings, whether you address people using <\/span>\u0442\u044b<\/b> or <\/span>\u0432\u044b\/\u0412\u044b<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/h3>\n

Greetings and Non-Verbal Customs in Russia<\/b><\/h2>\n

Russians are rather reserved<\/a> when it comes to interpersonal communication with strangers, therefore the kisses that are common in France are uncustomary in Russian speaking countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Very close friends or relatives kiss after having not seen each other for a long time or before a lengthy separation. Hugs have a similar symbolic meaning and should be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n

Handshakes are widely used by men, but in a business environment, it\u2019s okay to shake a woman\u2019s hand if she is your business partner. Handshaking is common as a form of greeting when you meet someone and whenever you leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Shaking<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saying Goodbye in Russian<\/b><\/h2>\n

As is the case with Russian greetings, you can use a formal or an informal word when saying goodbye depending on the situation. The most common words that denote farewell in Russian are:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u041f\u043e\u043a\u0430<\/b>\u00a0[pa-KAH] \u2013 Bye \u2013 an informal way to say goodbye. Used when saying goodbye to friends and family and also anyone whom you address as <\/span>\u0442\u044b<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0414\u043e \u0441\u0432\u0438\u0434\u0430\u043d\u044c\u044f <\/b>[duh svee-DAH-nee-ye] \u2013 a more formal phrase used when leaving, which means until the next meeting. You can use this phrase when saying goodbye to people whom you address as either\u00a0<\/span>\u0442\u044b<\/b> or <\/span>\u0432\u044b<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0421\u043f\u043e\u043a\u043e\u0439\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u043d\u043e\u0447\u0438 <\/b>[spa-KOJ-naj NO-chee] \u2013 Good night!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0414\u043e\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0439 \u043d\u043e\u0447\u0438 <\/b>[DOB-raj NO-chee] \u2013 Good night!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to impress a native Russian speaker with your knowledge of the language, you can also say:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0414\u043e \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0438! <\/b>[duh VSTRIE-chi] \u2013 catch you later (or something like the French \u201c\u00e0 bient\u00f4t\u201d).<\/span>
\n\"Waving
\n\u0414\u043e \u0437\u0430\u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430\/ \u0434\u043e \u043f\u043e\u043d\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430 <\/b>[da ZAV-tra\/ da pa-ne-DEL\u2019-ni-ka] \u2013 literally \u201cuntil tomorrow\u201d or \u201cuntil Monday\u201d \u00a0– see you tomorrow\/ see you on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0412\u0441\u0435\u0433\u043e \u0434\u043e\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0433\u043e! <\/b>[vsivo DOH-bra-va] \u2013 all the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0412\u0441\u0435\u0433\u043e \u0445\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0448\u0435\u0433\u043e! <\/b>[VSE-vo ha-ROH-sheva \u2013 all the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0421\u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043b\u0438\u0432\u043e!<\/b>\u00a0[sche-SLEE-vah] \u2013 it literally means g<\/span>ood luck<\/span> but it denotes \u201cbye-bye\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0414\u0430\u0432\u0430\u0439 <\/b>[da-VAJ] \u2013 it can be translated literally as \u201cgive\u201d or \u201clet\u2019s\u201d but it actually means \u201cbye\u201d and is often colloquially used in a telephone conversation instead of \u201c\u043f\u043e\u043a\u0430\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or<\/span><\/p>\n

\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0449\u0430\u0439! <\/b>[prah-SCHAJ] \u2013 farewell.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can use <\/span>\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0449\u0430\u0439<\/b> when leaving for a long time or forever. The etymology of this word is very peculiar. It initially denoted \u201cforgive\u201d, i.e. we are about to part, and I hope you forgive me and that there are no hard feelings. Over time, this meaning has been lost and people use <\/span>\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0449\u0430\u0439<\/b> to bid somebody adieu. It\u2019s used to say goodbye when you think you will never see a person again, and bears a trace of sadness.<\/span><\/p>\n
