It can be as simple as <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здра́вствуйте</em></span></strong></span>/<span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здра́вствуй</em></span></strong></span>! Like "Hello" in English, you can use this greeting at any time of the day and with nearly anyone. Keep in mind, however, that you will use this expression only once in the day. If you meet again later, you should greet each other using a different expression. You may use <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брое у́тро!</em></span></strong></span></em></span> Good morning! <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брый день!</em></span></strong></span> Good afternoon! or <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брый ве́чер!</em></span></strong></span> Good evening! depending on the time of day. More informal greetings such as <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Приве́т!</em></span></strong></span> Hi! or the very slangy <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Салю́т!</em></span></strong></span> Hey! are also possible, but you should be careful when, and with whom you use these.</p><p>As we do in English, you might ask someone you know how he/she is doing: <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как пожива́ете?</em></span></strong></span> How are you? <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как дела́?</em></span></strong></span> How are things (going)? Possible responses are<span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Хорошо</em></span></strong></span>́ Fine; <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Норма́льно</em></span></strong></span> As usual;<span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ничего́</em></span></strong></span> O.K. Unlike Americans, whose response to these questions is often nothing more than a polite Tine, thanks." Russians may take the time to tell you the whole truth!</p><p><span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До свида́ния</em></span></strong></span> Good bye! (literally: "Until our next meeting.") will work in all situations when saying good-bye. You may also use: <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Всего́ хоро́шего</em></span></strong></span>; <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Всего́ до́брого!</em></span></strong></span> All the best. <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Пока́!</em></span></strong></span> See ya! or Bye! is more casual and you should be careful when you use it, and with whom.</p><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table border="0" width="100%"><col width="1*"><col width="1*"><thead><tr><th align="center" colspan="2" valign="top">HELLO!</th></tr></thead><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здра́вствуйте</em></span>!</td><td>Hello!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брое утро!</em></span></td><td>Good morning!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брый день!</em></span></td><td>Good afternoon!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До́брый вечер!</em></span></td><td>Good evening!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Приве́т</em></span>!</td><td>Hi!</td></tr></table></div></div><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table border="0" width="100%"><col width="1*"><col width="1*"><thead><tr><th align="center" colspan="2">HOW ARE YOU?</th></tr></thead><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как пожива́ете?</em></span></td><td>How are you?</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как живёте?</em></span></td><td>How's life?</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как дела́?</em></span></td><td>How are things (going)?</td></tr></table></div></div><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table border="0" width="100%"><col width="1.04*"><col width="1.0*"><thead><tr><th align="center" colspan="2">WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL</th></tr></thead><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Спаси́бо, хорошо́.</em></span></td><td>Fine, thanks.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Прекра́сно!</em></span>!</td><td>Excellent.</td></tr></table></div></div><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table border="0" width="100%"><col width="1*"><col width="1*"><thead><tr><th align="center" colspan="2">WHEN THINGS ARE OK</th></tr></thead><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ничего́.</em></span></td><td>O.K.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Та́к себе.</em></span></td><td>So so.</td></tr></table></div></div><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table border="0" width="100%"><col width="1*"><col width="1*"><thead><tr><th align="center" colspan="2">WHEN THINGS ARE GOING BADLY</th></tr></thead><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Пло́хо.</em></span></td><td>Bad.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Нева́жно.</em></span></td><td>Not very well.</td></tr></table></div></div><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table border="0" width="100%"><col width="1*"><col width="1*"><thead><tr><th align="center" colspan="2">GOOD BYE!</th></tr></thead><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">До свида́ния!</em></span></td><td>Good-bye.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Споко́йной ночи!</em></span></td><td>Good night.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Пока́!</em></span></td><td>Bye!
