Russian Step by Step

The informal way of greeting is

Привет! [pree-vet] - Hi!

It is used with family, friends, classmates - people you know quite well. In addition to Привет! you can also hear:

Как дела? [kak de-la] - How are you? (literally: How are things?)

Как жизнь? [kak zhizn'] - How are you? (literally: How is life?)

In answer to informal Как дела? or Как жизнь?, Russians usually say:
Хорошо. [ha-ra-sho] - Everything is good.

Нормально. [nar-mal'-na] - Everything is ok. (literally: Everything is normal.)

Отлично! [at-leech-na] - Great!

Так себе! [tak see-be] - So-so.

A good word to use when you want to find something. Use it as a single word + mime the object or put the name of the street, metro, shop or whatever you look for.

Gde mama? - where is mom?
Gde telephon? - where is the phone?
Gde Rossiya? - where is Russia?
