Dobroe ranok refers to the day while dobroe ranku "добрий ранку" is the salutation itself, no?

Добрий ранок, доброго ранку - good morning; Добрий день, доброго дня - good afternoon/good day.

As a salutation I would prefer "Доброго ранку/дня", however in elementary school we've been taught to say "Добрий день" to the teacher.
There is a huge difference between these sentences. "Доброго дня" comes from [бажаю] Доброго дня - [I wish you a] good day. "Добрий день" is just a loan phrase from Russian.

One Ukrainian professor always stressed that it's preffered to say: "Доброго ранку, але 'Добрий день' і 'Добрий вечір'". I disagree on the Russian loan word theory. Ukrainian used "Добрий ххх" for a long time, just as all other Slavic languages that have the same construction.

And we also have "Добридень" and "Добривечір" for "good day" and "good evening". I recalled that while I was reading your comment. I searched a bit and found "Добридосвіток" (for good morning), but it sounds a little bit odd for me.

Right, those would be more colloquial versions. Never ever have I heard "Добридосвідок" ))))) I'll have to memorize that :)

Sorry I didnt write all my comment... i is corrected now ... yet, my girlfriend just like her parents are ukranian and explained me the difference that way, as a salutation you "pahky" while "pahok" refers to the day... and adjective to the day. not a salutation.

Is it always студенти if there's more than one student? I mean, 5 students is студентів.

It doesn't matter how many students are there, unless it was stated explicitly (what is unlikely to happen).
I mean, that "Good day, five students" will be "Добрий день, п'ять студентів". Really odd.
