When you make a phone call in Russia, you may get the impression that the person who answers is an extremely impatient individual who can't afford the luxury of wasting time answering the phone. That's why the person's "Алло!" - a standard way to answer the phone - may sound abrupt, unfriendly or even angry. Don't waste time introducing yourself. Hurry up and tell the person your business right away. You also may also hear just:
✔Да- [dah] - Yes
✔Слушаю - [sloo-shuh-yu] - I'm listening

SAYING THE YEAR 🗓
To indicate a year, you begin with the century, as in ТЫСЯЧА ДЕВЯТЬСОТ – [tihsee-chuh dee-veet-soht] –nineteen (Literally: one thousand nine hundred) for the 20th century or ДВЕ ТЫСЯЧИ – [dvye tih-see-che] - two thousand (for the 21st century). Then, to state the number indicating the year, use the corresponding ordinal number, as in:
✔ТЫСЯЧА ДЕВЯТЬСОТ ПЯТЬДЕСЯТ ВОСЬМОЙ ГОД – [tih-see-chuh dee-veetsoht pee-dee-syat vahs’-mohy goth] – 1958 (Literally: One thousand nine hundred fifty-eighth year)
✔ДВЕ ТЫСЯЧИ СЕДЬМОЙ ГОД – [dvye tih-see-chee seed’-mohy goth] – 2007 (Literally: Two thousand seventh year)

More often, we use years to indicate when a certain event took, takes, or will take place. To make this statement, use preposition v + the year in the prepositional case + godu (gah-doo; year), as in:
✔В ТЫСЯЧА ДЕВЯТЬСОТ ПЯТЬДЕСЯТ ВОСЬМОМ ГОДУ – [v tih-see-chuh deeveet-soht pee-dee-syat vahs’-mohm gah-doo] - in 1958 (Literally: in the one thousand nine hundred fifty-eighth year)
✔В ДВЕ ТЫСЯЧИ СЕДЬМОМ ГОДУ – [v dvye tih-see-chee seed’-mohm gahdoo] - in 2007 (Literally: in the two thousand seventh year)
✔В ДВЕ ТЫСЯЧИ СОРОК ВОСЬМОМ ГОДУ – [v dvye tih-see-chee soh-ruhk vahs’-mohm gah-doo] - in 2048 (Literally: in the two thousand forty-eighth year)
To indicate the year in which an event takes place, you only have to put the last ordinal numeral describing the year into the prepositional case. For more info on ordinal numerals and forming the prepositional case

It's already the last month of autumn.
✔НОЯБРЬ - [nah-YABR'] - November
Say you are considering take a trip in November then in this case, you indicate the month with the phrase:
✔В НОЯБРЕ - [v nuh-eeb-RYE] - in November
( 'в' + the name of the month in the prepositional name)
