It can be as simple as <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здравствуйте</em></span></strong></span>/<span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здравствуй</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">Доброе утро!</em></span></strong></span></em></span> Good morning! <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Добрый день!</em></span></strong></span> Good afternoon! or <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Добрый вечер!</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">Привет!</em></span></strong></span> Hi! or the very slangy <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Салют!</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 поживаете?</em></span></strong></span> How are you? <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Как дела?</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">Нормально</em></span></strong></span> As usual;<span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ничего</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 свидания</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">Всего хорошего</em></span></strong></span>; <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Всего доброго!</em></span></strong></span> All the best. <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Пока!</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><td align="center" colspan="2" valign="top"><span class="bold"><strong>HELLO!</strong></span></td></tr></thead><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Здравствуйте</em></span>!</td><td>Hello!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Доброе утро!</em></span></td><td>Good morning!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Добрый день!</em></span></td><td>Good afternoon!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Добрый вечер!</em></span></td><td>Good evening!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Привет</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 поживаете?</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 дела?</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">Спасибо, хорошо.</em></span></td><td>Fine, thanks.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Прекрасно!</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">Ничего.</em></span></td><td>O.K.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Так 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">Плохо.</em></span></td><td>Bad.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Неважно.</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 свидания!</em></span></td><td>Good-bye.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Спокойной ночи!</em></span></td><td>Good night.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Пока!</em></span></td><td>Bye!
