Agree with "Privet, kak dela"

Dear Asker,

Yes, the right translation will be "Privet, kak dela".

But, you can also go to "Glossaries" on the left side on the ProZ page and type your search word and the language combination there. The results will show you all possible combinations that had already been discussed here on ProZ in the past.

There are about 5-6 "Hellos" there as well.

Good luck!
