Good night in Russian
Good night in Russian is спокойной ночи (spokoynoy nochi): literally of a peaceful night, because the full thought is I wish you a peaceful night and wishes take the genitive.
Aurélien CuvelierAug 9, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026The ways to say it
спокойной ночи (spokoynoy nochi), standard
доброй ночи (dobroy nochi), variant: same construction, slightly less common
сладких снов (sladkikh snov), sweet dreams: intimate; family and partners
How to use it
This is a parting phrase for the end of the evening, not an evening greeting: arriving at 21:00 you say добрый вечер, leaving to sleep you say спокойной ночи.
The invisible желаю (I wish) explains a whole family of phrases: счастливого пути (safe travels), удачи (good luck), всего хорошего (all the best). All genitive, all missing the same verb.
