Добр и день! [dobryden’] – Hello! (shorten form of “добрий день”). This greeting is the most common and the most universal. You may use it in many situations: in a shop, in a railway station, at work… Добрий день literally means ‘a good day’, but time on the clock isn’t very important. Feel free to say it from 9 am to 6 pm, when it’s not dark outside.
