Learn russian language online - lesson 1: how to say „hello“ and how to introduce yourself Здравствуйтe! My name is Marta and today you are going to learn how to say hello in russian and how to introduce yourself. There are a lot of options how to greet people in russian, I will teach you several of them: • Informal option is to say привет. • More formal way is здравствуй or здравствуйтe. Здравcтвуй could be translated as „be in a good health“, so in russian using здравствуй you are not only say hello but also kinda wish the person to be healthy and to live longer. • Very informal way of greeting is здорово and приветик. Keep in mind that these words are used between very close friends. Depending on the time of the day, you can greet people by saying: • Доброе утро – Good morning, direct translation is „kind morning“, so in russian you are wishing to a person to have a kind morning by saying доброе утро. • Добрый день – Good afternoon • Добрый вечер – Good evening After saying hello: привет, здравствуй, or здорово you might want to introduce yourself. You can say: Меня зовут Марта – which means my name is Marta, however, direct translation of this phrase is I am called Marta. By the way, if your name is not Marta, then you might want to change it to your name. For example, меня зовут Карл or меня зовут Том. Also, you can simply say Я – Марта. Meaning I am Marta. Russian is simple, just don’t give up, practice and remember that you can always use body language ;) Thank you for watching this video!
