🥳Today we celebrate: • День Толстяка и Толстушки The Fat People's Day • Толстяк (толстяки) (masc.) [tal-styak (tal-sti-ki)] = • Толстушка (толстушки) (femin.) [tal-stush-ka (tal-stush-ki)] A fat person 🔻Both nouns come from the adjective толстый [tol-styj] fat. 📎 By the way, in Russia you could often hear a humorous excuse for being overweight: • Я не толстый/толстая! У меня просто кость широкая! I'm not fat! I'm just big-boned! Literally: wide-boned ❓️Is the surname (Leo) Tolstoy(Лев) Толстой related to this adjective?
