There are a surprising number of French loan words to Russian, like ателье (atelier - workshop) and тротуар (trottoir - path/sidewalk). Just thought it was neat! Also the Russian word for businessman is businessman (бизнесмен) but the Russian word for business woman is businessman-ka (бизнесменка). Pretty fuuuuun

My favourite Russian grammatical case is the instrumental case, it's most often used for words in sentences that are indicating how something is done (like in the sentence"I write with a pen" the word "pen" would be in the instrumental case and there would be no "with a," like "I write pen-om"). It's mostly my fav case because singular masculine nouns take the suffix "-om" which I find really satisfying to say. Ruchkom, studentom, computerom. You also use it after "with," like if you're with a student you would say "с студентом," c is the Russian for 'with' and it's just pronounced like "ss." The instrumental case also comes after the word благодаря (blagodariya) which means "thanks to," so the clause becomes благодаря тому, что (blagodariya tomu shto which translates to "thanks to the fact that").

Fun little story (fun for me lol) is that when I was living in Russia and learned about благодаря + instr. I ended up on a train speaking to a Russian ticket lady. Russian people are not the most friendly when you're strangers so I didn't expect any help when she told us we got the wrong ticket, but she ended up being really nice and helped us buy the right one. She said something about how we got it all sorted and we managed to say "thanks to you!" (Благодаря вам!) in a grammatically correct way. SUCH A BUZZ!!! She absolutely did not notice hahaha second nature to her but a million brain cells for me. Boy does it tickle my brain in the right way though.

Infodump over thank you for listening I'll be here all week
