The formal way to say hello is Здравствуйте. (ZDRAHS-voy-tye) This is more appropriate in formal situations.

Informally, you can say Привет. (pree-VYET) Use this with friends and people with whom you're comfortable.

To say goodbye in both formal and informal situations, you can say До свидания. (das-vee-DAHN-eeya) It basically means, 'until next time' or 'until we meet again'.

An informal way to say goodbye, more akin to "bye-bye", is Пока. (pah-KAH)

Russians typically say "Здравствуйте" (Zdravstvuyte) to say hello in a formal way or "Привет" (Privet) in an informal setting. To say goodbye, they commonly use "До свидания" (Do svidaniya) which means "Goodbye."
