A few days ago a friend of mine told me the interesting etymology of his favorite Ukrainian word "філіжанка" which I would like to share with y'all today)

As it turns out, "філіжанка", meaning "tea or coffee cup" isn't like your average Slavic word that boringly descends from a Proto-Slavic form which then evolved over the centuries. No, not at all! This term has actually traveled the globe, hailing from a land most of our forefathers weren't even aware of)

Our story starts in the Middle East, with the Classical Persian word پنگان (pengân), meaning: cup, bowl and water clock. This was then borrowed by Arabic فنجان (finjān), where it only meant "cup". This was then reborrowed by Persian as فنجان (fenjân), this time only meaning "cup", unlike the earlier Classical Persian form.

Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?

This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. The regulator took order for the search and seizure operation from Judge Purushottam B Jadhav, Sebi Special Judge / Additional Sessions Judge. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into." In addition, Telegram now supports the use of third-party streaming tools like OBS Studio and XSplit to broadcast live video, allowing users to add overlays and multi-screen layouts for a more professional look.
