If you find yourself flirting in Russia, would you know how and when to drop formalities?

Whether it’s for business or pleasure, you need to know which version of ‘you’ to use when addressing the other party - in this episode Zac and Maria dissect this concept to help you to avoid a potential social faux pa!

- You (informal): ты - ‘ty’
- You (formal): вы- ‘vy’
- Can we drop formalities?: перейдём на ты- ‘pereydom na ty’
- Yes: да - ‘da’
- Good: Хорошо - ‘hahrasho’
- I don’t speak much Russian: я немного говорю по-русский - ‘ya nyemnogo govoryu po-ruski’
