Getting someone's attention/Addressing strangers

If you need to address a stranger, or get their attention for whatever reason, you should remember the following:

A

All strangers (except for children) should be addressed as Вы.

B

Women in general are Девушка! (Miss!) - unless this is obviously inappropriate.

C

Men in general are Молодой человек! (Young man!) unless, again, this is obviously inappropriate.

D

In those situations where В and С are inappropriate, simply use:

Простите, пожалуйста... Pardon me, please...
Будьте добры... Be so kind...
Скажите, пожалуйста... Tell me, please...
