Adjective

дружелю́бный (druželjúbnyj) (adverb дружелю́бно, abstract noun дружелю́бность)

  1. friendly, amiable (warm, approachable)
    • 1877, Лев Толстой, “Глава XIV”, in Анна Каренина, Москва: Наука (1970); English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Anna Karenina, Philadelphia: G. W. Jacobs, 1919, page 66:
      Между Нордстон и Левиным установилось то нередко встречающееся в свете отношение, что два человека, оставаясь по внешности в дружелюбных отношениях, презирают друг друга до такой степени, что не могут даже серьезно обращаться друг с другом и не могут даже быть оскорблены один другим.
      Meždu Nordston i Levinym ustanovilosʹ to neredko vstrečajuščejesja v svete otnošenije, što dva čeloveka, ostavajasʹ po vnešnosti v druželjubnyx otnošenijax, prezirajut drug druga do takoj stepeni, što ne mogut daže serʹjezno obraščatʹsja drug s drugom i ne mogut daže bytʹ oskorbleny odin drugim.
      The Countess Nordston and Levin got into that relation with one another not seldom seen in society, when two persons, who remain externally on friendly terms, despise each other to such a degree that they cannot even take each other seriously, and cannot even be offended by each other.
