Thank you.Do svidániya.
Goodbye.The accent mark indicates a tonic vowel, which is stressed by pronouncing with a slightly lower pitch.Zdrávstvujte!
Hello!The first 'v' is silent. The actual pronunciation is closer to "zdrástvujte". It has sort of a formal tone to it, somewhat similar to the English "Good day" (but without the Australian overtones, natch.).Khorosho!
Good job!Or "good", "wonderful", "okay", etc., depending on context. One of Hibiki's catchphrases.
Zdrávstvujte is a basic greeting you can use at any time of day. Khorosho is a convenient word for anything from mild sympathy to admiration.
