🥳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?

🥳Today, June 23rd, is: 🇷🇺Международный День Балалайки International Balalaika Day 🔻The balalaika is a three-stringed plucked musical instrument that is a symbol of Russian culture. It has a rich history and was often used at folk festivals and celebrations. 🔻The first mention of the balalaika dates back to June 23, 1688, when a relevant entry was made in the document Память из Стрелецкого приказа в малороссийский приказ (Memory from the Streltsy Order to the Little Russian Order), according to the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music. 🔻The word балалайка [ba-la-lay-ka] is believed to derive from the words балабонить and балагурить, meaning to chat idly or to engage in idle talk. 🔻The video by ™️sergeyvorontsovbalalaika features Яблочко - a playful song popular among revolutionary soldiers during the Russian Civil War, and the sailor's dance performed to its melody. ❓️How do you like this Russian folk musical instrument? #holidays #brief_and_interesting #Russian_culture 😎RCR | Support | Boost
