Did you know?
- In Russian business culture, a фирменный бланк often includes a 'corner' of text called the шапка (literally 'hat') which contains all the legal registration details of the company.
- The word бланк is a direct loan from the English word 'blank'. This makes it a 'false friend' for some because in Russian it refers to a printed form or official stationery rather than an empty space.
- The adjective фирменный is used in many other contexts beyond business, such as in the phrase фирменное блюдо, which means a 'signature dish' in a restaurant.
