Thank you.Khorosho!
Good job!Or "good", "wonderful", "okay", etc., depending on context. One of Hibiki's catchphrases.Do svidániya.
Goodbye.The accent mark indicates a tonic vowel, which is stressed by pronouncing with a slightly lower pitch.Zdrávstvujte!
Hello!The first 'v' is silent. The actual pronunciation is closer to "zdrástvujte". It has sort of a formal tone to it, somewhat similar to the English "Good day" (but without the Australian overtones, natch.).
Zdrávstvujte is a basic greeting you can use at any time of day. Khorosho is a convenient word for anything from mild sympathy to admiration.
