Nice for world viewers that this is in German...LOL
Last time Merkel talked to ISS (when Reiter was up ther, I believe), she teased Bush (who was with her at the event) by talking to all astros in their mother tongue - English, Russian and German ;-)

She also started the PAO with "dobry den" among other greetings, that's in Czech, quite surprising for me ...

Wouldn't that be the same in Russian?

Sorry for offtopic, but when you ask: In Russion it is something like "Zdrastvui te" so completely different. I thing she missed the greeting in Russian anyway.

I'm not an expert in Russian, but this caught my eye, so...
Dobryi den is what you say during the day.
Dobroe utro in the morning.
Dobryi vetcher in the evening.
Zdrastvuite is a general polite greeting that can be used at all times.
Zdrastvui is used when talking to a friend whom with you don't need to use to polite (plural) form.
When talking to a group of people one should say zdrastvuite, as saying zdrastvui then would be impolite (like picking a single person from a group to greet, ignoring the others). Other option is to say zdrastvui to each person, with a name, like "Zdrastvui, Yuri".
Bozhe moi... I hope I got those right... :bleh:

'Privyet' is more commonly used for 'hi', or the friend form of hello. 'Zdrastvuite' is used quite often, especially when talking to an individual, a store clerk would be a good example, or a colleague. 'Zdrastvui' is rare in my experience, though I'm not Russian so am without hope of ever mastering the language. 'Kak dela' is 'what's up', although I doubt the ground controller are that informal with ISS.
