How do I introduce myself in Russian
To introduce yourself in Russian, a common and simple phrase is:
Меня зовут… (Menya zovut…) which means “My name is…”
You can follow this with your name. For example:
Меня зовут Иван. (Menya zovut Ivan.) — “My name is Ivan.”
A casual greeting to start with is Привет (Privet) meaning “Hi,” and a more formal greeting is Здравствуйте (Zdravstvuyte) meaning “Hello.”
After introducing your name, you can say Очень приятно (Ochen’ priyatno) which means “Nice to meet you.”
If you want to ask someone’s name formally, say Как вас зовут? (Kak vas zovut?), and informally, say Как тебя зовут? (Kak tebya zovut?).
Here is a simple self-introduction example in Russian:
- Здравствуйте. (Zdravstvuyte.) — Hello.
- Меня зовут Анна. (Menya zovut Anna.) — My name is Anna.
- Очень приятно. (Ochen’ priyatno.) — Nice to meet you.
This basic structure will help to introduce yourself properly in Russian in both formal and informal settings.
