Some curious facts about Russian Alphabet
📌 The majority of the Russian words that start with "Ф" [f] are borrowed from other languages in fact! Pushkin was proud, that he used just one word that begins with it - "флот" [flot] (navy) in "The Tale Of Tsar Saltan"
📌 It's hard to believe, but there're over 70 words in Russian that start with "Й" [j]. Truth be told, even native-speakers can't name more than 5-6 of them ("йод" [yod] (iodine), "йога" [yoga] (yoga) - are the most popular)
📌 The craziest fact is that in Russian we have words, which start with "Ы": Ыныхсыт [ynykhsyt] and Ытыккюель [ytykkyuel'], for example. That's pretty cute, isn't it? 😹This is just the names of geographic features, so you can breathe out, we actually don't use them at all.
Thank you for reading! I hope, it'll help you to memorize Russian Abc :3
