LinguaOne conversation, from hello to goodbye
This unit gave you a complete first meeting. Read it once as a whole – the pieces are easier to remember in the order they actually occur.
| Step | What you say |
|---|---|
| greeting | Здравствуйте / Привет |
| your name | Меня зовут ... |
| their name | А как вас зовут? |
| reaction | Очень приятно |
| small talk | Как дела? – Нормально, а у вас? |
| origin | Откуда вы? – Я из ... |
| farewell | До свидания / Пока |
The two choices that run through all of it
Every line above has a вы version and a ты version, and you pick once, at the start, and keep it for the whole conversation. Switching halfway is a message in itself.
| Formal | Informal |
|---|---|
| Здравствуйте | Привет |
| Как вас зовут? | Как тебя зовут? |
| Как ваши дела? | Как твои дела? |
| До свидания | Пока |
The endings that already changed
You have seen three different endings on the same word without being asked to learn a table: Москва, из Москвы, в Москве. Russian marks the job of a word by its ending, and the next units take those endings one at a time.
Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Анна. А как вас зовут?Hello! My name is Anna. And what is your name?
Очень приятно. Откуда вы?Pleased to meet you. Where are you from?
