SUBJECT 3. GREETINGS, POLITE EXPRESSIONS, INTRODUCTIONS
Let’s imagine a quite ordinary situation: a man and a woman meet by chance at a party
and, being mutually attracted to each other, they begin to talk.
Their conversation is
simple, unpretentious, and yet significant for both of them.
His name is Andrey, and she is Natasha. At each stage of their conversation they can
use one of many different expressions. We will consider
here just the most common
options, which for convenience will be presented under consecutive numbers. So let’s
start…
Андрей:
(1)
Здравствуйте = How do you do? or Hello
(2)
Доброе утро = Good morning
(3)
Добрый день = Good day
(4)
Добрый вечер = Good evening
{
Note:
There is no Russian equivalent for “Good afternoon”.
When you greet
somebody between 12 and 5 p.m. use op
tion (3), unless you prefer “timeless” options (1)
or (5).}
(5)
