    <title><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Давайте познакомимся!</foreignphrase></title>
    <para>There is no secret to greeting people in Russian. It can be as simple as <emphasis
        role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Здравствуйте</foreignphrase></emphasis>/<emphasis
        role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Здравствуй</foreignphrase></emphasis>! 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 <foreignphrase
        xml:lang="ru"><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Доброе
            утро!</foreignphrase></emphasis></foreignphrase> Good morning! <emphasis role="bold"
          ><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Добрый день!</foreignphrase></emphasis> Good afternoon! or
        <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Добрый вечер!</foreignphrase></emphasis>
      Good evening! depending on the time of day. More informal greetings such as <emphasis
        role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Привет!</foreignphrase></emphasis> Hi! or the very
      slangy <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Салют!</foreignphrase></emphasis>
      Hey! are also possible, but you should be careful when, and with whom you use these.</para>
    <para>As we do in English, you might ask someone you know how he/she is doing: <emphasis
        role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Как поживаете?</foreignphrase></emphasis> How are
      you? <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Как дела?</foreignphrase></emphasis>
      How are things (going)? Possible responses are<emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase
          xml:lang="ru"> Хорошо</foreignphrase></emphasis> Fine; <emphasis role="bold"
          ><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Нормально</foreignphrase></emphasis> As usual;<emphasis
        role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru"> Ничего</foreignphrase></emphasis> 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!</para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">До свидания</foreignphrase></emphasis>
      Good bye! (literally: "Until our next meeting.") will work in all situations when saying
      good-bye. You may also use: <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Всего
          хорошего</foreignphrase></emphasis>; <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru"
          >Всего доброго!</foreignphrase></emphasis> All the best. <emphasis role="bold"
          ><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Пока!</foreignphrase></emphasis> See ya! or Bye! is more
      casual and you should be careful when you use it, and with whom.</para>

      <para>The patronymic is a Russian's second name. It is formed from the father's first name. In
        English, there are last names which are similar to the Russian patronymic: Johnson,
        Peterson. The ending for the patronymic will depend on whether it belongs to a son or a
        daughter. This table gives examples of common patronymics and shows how they are
        formed:</para>

    <title>When to use <foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы</foreignphrase> and
      <foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ты</foreignphrase></title>
    <para>Russian, unlike English, has two different forms of the second person singular pronoun
      "you": <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">вы</foreignphrase></emphasis> and <emphasis
        role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">ты</foreignphrase></emphasis>. Compare these to the French
        <emphasis role="bold">Vous</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">tu</emphasis> or the German
        <emphasis role="bold">Sie</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">du</emphasis>. The <emphasis
        role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">вы</foreignphrase></emphasis> form is also the second person
      plural.</para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы</foreignphrase></emphasis> is used in formal
      situations, work settings, when speaking to a superior or to someone older, to whom you wish
      to show a degree of respect. <emphasis role="bold"
        ><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы</foreignphrase></emphasis> indicates distance (emotional, social or
      chronological).</para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ты</foreignphrase></emphasis> is used in informal
      situations, family relationships (between spouses, parents and children, between siblings and
      with other relatives), when speaking to someone younger than you. <emphasis role="bold"
          ><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ты</foreignphrase></emphasis> indicates closeness (in age or in terms of
      friendship and intimacy).</para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы</foreignphrase></emphasis>-forms of address can be
      full first name plus patronymic, full first name minus patronymic, or shortened first name
      only. <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ты</foreignphrase></emphasis>-forms of address will
      be first name only, either full or shortened.</para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ты</foreignphrase></emphasis> is always used when
      addressing God, speaking to children (your own or anyone's) and calling your cat or
      dog.</para>
    <para>When they first meet, adults will usually begin by addressing each other as <emphasis
        role="bold">Вы</emphasis>. At some point in time in the relationship, one may suggest to the
      other that they change to <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">ты</foreignphrase></emphasis>
      by saying: <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Давайте перейдём на
        ты;</foreignphrase></emphasis> or <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Можно на
          ты?</foreignphrase></emphasis> If this is mutually agreeable, the relationship passes onto
      a new level; some people even make a ritual of it by drinking <emphasis role="bold"

    <title>Addressing friends and acquaintances in Russian</title>
    <para>The first name is the most common form of address between persons who enjoy a close
      relationship. The use of the various forms of the first name (similar to our American
      nicknames) is influenced by the degree of intimacy in the relationship. The greater the
      intimacy, the more variety in these forms. For example:</para>
    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term>A</term>
        <listitem>
          <para>Full forms of the first name <emphasis role="bold">(</emphasis><emphasis role="bold"
                ><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Владимир</foreignphrase>, <foreignphrase xml:lang="ru"

            individuals who are on either <foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы</foreignphrase> or
              <foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">ты</foreignphrase> terms.</para>

            closeness. These forms are often used interchangeably with those in category A and are
            appropriate when the relationship is either <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase
                xml:lang="ru">Вы</foreignphrase></emphasis> or <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase

    <title>The Russian intonation system</title>
    <para>Much in the same way as English does, Russian uses a system of rising and falling
      intonations within a sentence to indicate that it is: a declarative statement, a question or
      an exclamation. Examine the following English sentences. Note their punctuation and attempt to
      read them with the proper intonation:</para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold">Your son graduated from Harvard.</emphasis></para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold">Your son graduated from Harvard?</emphasis></para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold">Your son graduated from Harvard!</emphasis></para>
    <para>Now listen as your instructor reads this set of similar sentences in Russian. Note where
      the "center" of intonation is (always on the word in question or a question word, in a
      question), and the rise and fall of the voice:</para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ваша дочь окончила
        МГУ.</foreignphrase></emphasis></para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ваша дочь окончила
        МГУ?</foreignphrase></emphasis></para>
    <para><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Ваша дочь окончила
        МГУ!</foreignphrase></emphasis></para>
    <para>The Russian intonation patterns have been organized into a system which refers to them as
      "intonation constructions" or "ИК". There are 5 basic patterns:</para>
    <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
        <formalpara>
          <title>ИК-1</title>
          <para>for declarative sentences, statements. The tone is even,with a slight falling off at
            the end. Often this intonation is perceived by speakers of English as "boring", but you
            should resist the temptation to "jazz it up".</para>
        </formalpara>
        <para>For example:</para>
        <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Моя фамилия Морозов. Меня зовут Николай Петрович. Это моя
            жена. Её зовут Екатерина Васильевна. Мы москвичи. Мы живём в
          Москве.</foreignphrase></para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <formalpara>
          <title>ИК-2</title>
          <para>for questions containing a question word (<emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase
                xml:lang="ru">Что?</foreignphrase></emphasis>
            <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru"
              >Кто?</foreignphrase></emphasis><emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">
                Как?</foreignphrase></emphasis>
            <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Где?</foreignphrase></emphasis>
            <emphasis role="bold"><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Когда?</foreignphrase></emphasis>,
            etc.). The intonation rises on the question word and then drops and levels off for the
            rest of the sentence.</para>
        </formalpara>
        <para>For example:</para>
        <informalexample>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Кто это? Что это?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Как вас зовут?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Где вы живёте? Где вы работаете?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Когда вы приехали в Москву?</foreignphrase></para>
        </informalexample>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <formalpara>
          <title>ИК-3</title>
          <para>for questions which do NOT contain a question word. This pattern is used to turn
            declarative sentences into questions without changing word order. The intonation rises
            on the word in question and then drops and levels off for the rest of the
            sentence.</para>
        </formalpara>
        <para>For example:</para>
        <informalexample>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы говорите по-русски? Вы хорошо говорите
              по-русски?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы работаете в американском
            посольстве?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Вы давно в Москве?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Это ваша машина?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">У вас есть дети?</foreignphrase></para>
        </informalexample>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <formalpara>
          <title>ИК-4</title>
          <para>for "incomplete" questions which are usually prefaced with «A..?». In a dialog,
            these refer back to a question asked previously. The intonation dips slightly at the
            beginning of the question, then rises sharply and continues to rise to the end of the
            sentence.</para>
        </formalpara>
        <para>For example:</para>
        <informalexample>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">-Как дела?</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">-Очень хорошо, спасибо. А у вас? [А как у вас
              дела?)</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Мой сын учится в университете. А ваш? (Где учится ваш
              сын?)</foreignphrase></para>
          <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="ru">Летом мы поедем на Чёрное море. А вы? (Куда вы поедете
              летом?)</foreignphrase></para>
        </informalexample>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <formalpara>
          <title>ИК-5</title>
          <para>for exclamations which may be either sincere or sarcastic, depending on the context.
            The intonation rises at the beginning of the sentence, levels off, stays high and then
            drops at the end of the sentence.</para>
