How can I say "hello in Russian?"

Question

Answer

"Hello" in Russian:
Formal: 
Здравствуйте! 
Informal: 
Привет! 
Здарова!

Answer

I prefer to say: "Доброе утро!" = "Good morning!", "Добрый день!" = "Good afternoon!", "Добрый вечер!" = "Good evening!". These phrases are used not so often as "Здраствуйте" and that does my greetings a bit special. At least I hope so :)

Answer

"Здравствуйте" is often spoken faster with some sounds missed, so it sounds like "здрасьте",  though it sounds impolite. So, better don't use "здрасьте" by yourself.

Answer

Hello ! --- Здравствуйте !
Hi ! -----  Привет !
