На "ты" или на "Вы"❓❓❓
3 years agoНа "ты" или на "Вы"? In Russian, there are two forms of addressing a person: "ты" and "Вы". It is a mistake to assume that the form "Вы" is considered more formal, and "ты" - more informal. Both forms of address are polite, if you use them correctly.
"ты" we address:
family members
children, including the children we don't know
friends
good friends - to those with whom we agreed to "перейти на ты"
We refer to "Вы" to:
strangers
people we just met for the first time
people who are much older than us
teachers
colleagues
In all cases there are exceptions. By default, while we do not know the person, it will be polite to refer to him/her as "Вы". If you feel like you can close the distance because you like each other, want to keep in touch, you're the same age, or just prefer to keep it simple, you can suggest "перейти на ты" with a simple phrase, "Может, на ты?" or “Давай на ты (перейдём)” or “Не против, если мы будем на "ты?”
Most likely, you will not be refused. But if this happens, do not rush to draw conclusions (that they don’t want to communicate with you, or you don’t like you). Perhaps the person is brought up differently or it is more comfortable for him to keep his distance.
Most often, young people when meeting each other call each other "Вы", but not necessarily. It always depends on a person you are speaking to.
This video is a sample of questions you might hear in both forms "на ты" or "на Вы" when you meet a new person. You could get ready for this now. Enjoy your Russian!

UkraineI’ve been struggling with nail care for my sensitive skin and have noticed some allergic reactions whenever I try new products. Does anyone have tips or recommendations for nail care routines that are safe for people prone to allergies or sensitive skin? I’m especially curious about what types of nail polishes, lotions, or treatments are best to avoid irritation. Any advice on products that could help?
UkraineThat’s a tough one! I have sensitive skin too, and I’ve learned the hard way that certain ingredients in nail products can trigger allergic reactions. One key thing to look out for is to avoid harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP (dibutyl phthalate), which are often found in conventional nail polishes. Instead, try to use "5-free" or even "10-free" nail polishes, which are formulated without these harmful chemicals.
Also, moisturizing is critical for sensitive skin, so make sure to use a good, gentle hand cream, and consider using a cuticle oil that’s hypoallergenic. If you’re looking for a trusted place to get high-quality nail care products for sensitive skin, GoPrint https://goprint.ae/offers a great range of options, and while they primarily focus on printing, they also provide useful resources for sensitive skin care, including product recommendations and reviews.
UkraineI’ve read that using natural, plant-based products can also be a good option. Aloe vera and chamomile are known for their soothing properties and can help calm irritated skin. You might want to try products with those ingredients.
