Privet, my dear friends! How are you today? Now I am going to teach you how to be polite and say Thanks in Russian. Transcription of the word is [S-P-A-S’-I-B-A] with the stress on the sound [I] – SPASI-I-IBA and with a soft sound [S’]. Let’s try again – SPASIBA. Well done!

Did you know that many years ago Russian word SPASIBA (spelling is SPASIBO) was created from the phrase “SPASI TEBYA BOG”, which means “Save you, God”? So every time you say SPASIBA to someone you want him or her to be saved by God, and this is absolutely perfect, isn’t it?

There are some more Russian words with the special “message” and hopefully, I will tell you about them later.

Now you can use SPASIBA in various suitable situations, which I am sure will be very much.

SPASIBA for your attention, for your hard work in Russian with me and Paka! See you soon!
