How to say hello in Russian?

To say "hello" in Russian, you can say "Привет" (privet). This is a casual way to greet someone.

If you want to be more formal, you can say "Здравствуйте" (zdravstvuyte). This is equivalent to saying "hello" or "good day" in English.

Here are some other common ways to greet people in Russian:

• "Добрый день" (dobryy den') - "good day" (formal)
• "Доброе утро" (dobroye utro) - "good morning"
• "Добрый вечер" (dobryy vecher) - "good evening"
• "Здравствуй" (zdravstvuy) - "hello" (informal, singular)
• "Здравствуйте" (zdravstvuyte) - "hello" (formal, singular or plural)
• "Приветствую" (privetstvuyu) - "hello" (formal, singular or plural)

It's also important to note that in Russian, the way you greet someone depends on the time of day and your relationship with the person. It's always a good idea to use the appropriate greeting for the situation.
