Russian Greetings

The easiest way to greet so:

Russian version \Russian phrase written in Latin \ [transcription (as read)] \ English translation


Доброе утро! Dobroe utro  - [Dobraye ootro]  = Good morning
Добрый день! Dobriy den [Dobriy den'] = Good afternoon
Добрый вечер! Dobriy vecher [Dobriy vyecher] = Good evening

These phrases, you can to greet a close friend or a group of strangers.
These phrases are not used at farewell.
The russian word "добрый (доброе)" [dobriy, dobrae] means "good", in this case rather "favourable". It's just a fact of the good weather.

You can say:
Здравствуйте! Zdravstvujte [Zdrastvooyte - don't say the first letter "v"] = Hello.
But litterally it's "wish be healthy".  As informal option - "Здравствуй! " Zdravstvuj [Zdrastvooy]- it's for a friend.

Another informal option:
Привет! Privet [Preevyet] =  Hi!

Listen and repeat:

easy to understand with the scheme:
