Now, how do start a conversation with the locale? Here a few phrases to help you:
1-Приве́т! (Privet!)-Hello
The first word that you may need is this. If you are speaking to someone on the phone, then use Алло́? (Allo?). But you don’t stop with it.
2-Как ваши дела? (Kak vaši dela?) – How are you?
People in Russia are cordial, and when you greet them, you can get positive replies. So you may hear ‘I am fine’ (я в порядке- ya v poryadke).
3-Как вас зовут? (Kak vas zovut?)- What’s your name?
Naturally, the next question will be oriented at asking the name of the person whom you have just met. This is how you get in tune with locals and exchange your thoughts and some personal info.
4-Меня зовут (Menja zovut)-My name is…
You may hear ‘Artem’ or ‘Aleksandr’ or a popular name like this. The conversation will get stuck just at this question if you don’t ask ‘What’s your name?’(Как вас зовут- Kak vas zovut).
5-Рад встрече с вами-(Rad vstreche s vami)-Pleased to meet you
In all probability, you hear this from the person you have just met. What next?
6-Откуда вы?-(Otkuda vy)-Where are you from?
You should know about the phrase because you will have to let another know which country you belong to. Just say Я из-(YA iz)-I’m from… 7-а ты говоришь по русски?-(a ty govorish’ po russki)-Do you speak Russian?
Not every visitor to Russia will have good knowledge about the country so can reply Да, немного-(Da, nemnogo) – Yes, a little!
8-Пока-пока-(Poka-poka)-Bye-Bye
Using these Russian phrases you can indluge in a better conversation. But notary translation services from Language Oasis will help you in law offices, consulates, etc. Call us now @ 888-670-3369 for more details.
