Learning Russian. Confused??

Question

Ok. So I've Been Learning To Speak Russian. And Well. Ive Been Given Four Different Ways To Say "Hello, My Name Is ____" I'm Confused As To Which Would Be A Proper Introduction. I Read Cryllic, And Know Pronounciations, Ect., Please, How Would I Introduce Myself? (Realistic Answers Only, Please Dont Confuse MeMore Than I Am) ...?

Answer 1

Heya Lana,

The way Russians say hello depends on how well they know the person they are speaking to (formal vs. informal)

The most common formal way Russians say hello is

"zzDRAST-wi-tyeh" (Здравствуйте)

and most common informal "Hi" (for close friends, children):

"prEEv-yet" (Привет)


To say "my name is", is a little different in Russian compared to English. Most commonly they say "Me they call .."

"min-YA za-vOOt Lana" (меня зовут Lana)


To finish the introduction with "nice to meet you" is:

"O-chen pree-YAt-na" (очень приятно) which translates as "very pleasant". I know it doesn't make perfect sense in English, but it's what they say.


You can hear all this stuff on my website. Hope it helps!

Answer 2

I have been discovering 4 distant places languages on an analogous time, a number of them additionally comparable (like Spanish and Italian), now I communicate seven. i do no longer see any undertaking to realize this. pass on and you will see that i'm acceptable.

Answer 3

OK, realistic answer . . .

"Здравствуйте. Меня зовут ___________."
literally "Me (they) call ___________
Don't forget you don't pronounce the first "в" in Здравствуйте.

Don't be surprised that there is more than one way to get the meaning across, think of English:

Hello, I'm X
Hello, my name's X
Good morning, my name is X
Hi! I'm called X, etc.

The one I've given you is fairly neutral and can be used at any time of the day.

Answer 4

well all i know is hello how are you is: zdrastvutye, kak dyela. its probably not proper spelling. i was jut sounding it out. good luck, my dads full russian and can speak it fluently, ive tried learning but it is soo hard.

**ok, i just looked in one of my learing russian books, in english way spelling its: zdrastvuytye, minya zovut "your name" (the "o" is like hello, and the "u" is like rule)
zdratsvuytye is hello, minya zovut is my name is **

Answer 5
