???????????? (zdravstvuite) or ?????? (privet). First is a formal version, the second is an informal one.
The formal version is really hard to understand
Are there any other synonyms to the formal "Hello", in Russian?
You can say "Good day!" or "Good morning!" instead, that would be ?????? ????! and ?????? ????! ("dobrii den" and "dobroe utro") =) I don't know if that is any easier. Russian is a hard thing to learn, I have never seen a single person who wasn't born here and mastered it; and I teach in a college with lots of foreign students, some of whom stay here for 5-8 years, so I've seen many people who tried =)
Yeah, but it is still impressive =) Good thing that at least some of the words are similar across some of those languages, like the ones that describe modern technology and technical terms in general.
