TO YOU / TO US - Russian Drinking Toasts from Native Speakers. Russian Spoken For Travelers.
PAY ATTENTION!
In Russian, as in English, the plural YOU coincide with YOU in the singular. BUT, only for formal use. For the informal YOU in the singular, Russians have their own separate option. Therefore, the locals have not two, but three YOU.
It is for this reason that Russians have three option of toasts TO YOU and not two!
TO YOU !
ZA TEBYA ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА ТЕБЯ ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
NOTE! Addressing one specific person
and is used only for INFORMAL communication!
ZA VAS ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА ВАС ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
ATTENTION! The phrase completely coincides
with an appeal to ONE respectful person (incl any stranger),
but it is also used when addressing several people,
regardless of the form of appeal
(formally and informally)
___________________________________
TO US !
ZA NAS ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА НАС ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
You can also say so:
ZA NAS S TABOI ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА НАС С ТОБОЙ ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
Direct translation is: TO YOU AND ME!
Addressing one specific person and is used
only for INFORMAL communication!
ZA NAS S VAMI ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА НАС С ВАМИ ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
Direct translation is: TO YOU AND ME!
Addressing several people (any case) or
one respected person (formally)

PLEASE NOTE! The following transliteration and pronunciation is given for the classical Latin alphabet and does not match with the rules of orthography and pronunciation of English.
Therefore do not pronounce Russian words how to you like represent sounds in English.
For example:
The Latin letter U should not be pronounced as the English word 'YOU'. (here U = OO)
PAY ATTENTION! Grammar is not our main thing. For example, we all pronounce French PEUGEOT as PEZHO. So Moscow (in Russian - MOskva) is actually pronounced by Russians as MAskva.
