Spaciba - Thank-you Pajaluista - Please/you're welcome Atlichna - Excellent! Great! (term of praise/exclamation) Zdrafstvuitye - Hello (formal) Da svidanya - Good-bye (relatively informal) Privyet - Hi (informal) Kak u vas dela? - How's it going? Harasho - Good, great! (Ochen harasho, very good) Nichevo - Okay Niplokha - Not bad Plokha - Bad (but _only_ use it if you want to then explain exactly why things are bad - it invites/precedes an explanation!)
Those are all pretty phonetic (although not written using traditional transliteration, which, IMO, _sucks_ for actual pronunciation.)
