Significado
Polite farewell.
Contexto cultural
In Russia, 'Всего доброго' is a hallmark of the 'Intelligentsia' style of speech. It suggests the speaker is well-educated and respects social boundaries. In Russian business, ending a meeting with this phrase signals that the discussion is officially over and no further immediate points are to be raised. Waiters and shop assistants in high-end Russian establishments are trained to use this phrase to create an atmosphere of 'European-style' service. On Russian social media (like VK or Telegram), using 'Всего доброго' in a comment section can sometimes be 'passive-aggressive', signaling that you are done talking to someone you disagree with.
The 'G' is a 'V'
In the genitive endings -ого and -его, the 'г' is always pronounced like 'v'. This is a key secret to sounding like a native!
Double it up
For maximum politeness, say 'До свидания, всего доброго'. It's the standard 'polite exit' in Russia.
