Привет, чао
May 15th, 2009 by DonIn English we have some little rhyming phrases that people occasionally throw in conversations for cutesy effect. For instance, when saying goodbye, you might hear:
“See you later, alligator.”
“After while, crocodile.”
“After while, crocodile.”
Russian is not bereft of its cutesy moments as well:
| Здорово, корова! | Hi, Cow! |
| Привет-буфет. | Hello-snackbar. |
| Чао-какао. | Ciao-cocoa. |
«Привет-буфет» is a relatively recent phrase. Older Russians may not know it. «Здорово, корова» has been around a long time.
