1. Words coffee, coffee, etc. were masculine. The word coffee is closely associated with these older forms. By the end of the 19th century they became colloquial. And the preserved form of the word COFFEE (masculine) entered into our standardized literary language.
2. The word coffee in modern Russian is masculine. Allowed - neuter gender.
3. These words are cognate, since they have the same root: -tek- (in the word flow), -tok- (flow), -tok- (east), - tek- (nautek);
Historical root with alternating vowels E\O and Shch\Ch\K (mother-in-law - old school). The initial meaning of the verb TESCHI is “to run, to move quickly.”
In the modern Russian language, only in the dialect nautek the memory of the original meaning of the word (to move quickly) has been preserved.
4.. Pronoun, according to the outstanding philologist V.V. Vinogradov, a special part of speech in modern Russian. Firstly, a pronoun is a part of speech that does not have its own meaning, but replaces words of other parts of speech. For example, in the phrase Yesterday we met a neighbor, he was very old, the pronoun HE replaces the noun neighbor. With the help of pronouns, the speaker either points to a person, object, sign, quantity, or generalizes them, but does not name them. For example, with the pronoun such a speaker indicates a characteristic, with the pronoun so much - with the quantity, and with the help of the interrogative pronoun who? asks about a face or persons. No other independent part speech has no such feature. Secondly, the peculiarity of pronouns is that they allow you to avoid repetition of words in the text, since they are a means of communication between parts of sentences and sentences as a whole: Yesterday we met a neighbor, he was very old. The pronoun OH in this sentence is a means of communication.
Another one interesting feature pronouns - personal pronouns you and you form the basis of speech etiquette: YOU are used to address each other in the family, between relatives, friends; on YOU - people little known and unfamiliar. The pronoun YOU is also accepted in official and official settings.
A.S. Pushkin uses precisely this semantic feature of personal pronouns. Lyrical hero A.S. Pushkina speaks of the desire to move from official relationships to close ones, hence the cordial you.

6.In the Russian language there are paired and unpaired hard consonants. For example: [B] - [B], [T] - [T], etc. Always solid unpaired ones are [zh], [w], [ts]. Once upon a time, the sounds [zh], [sh], [t] were soft and words with them were written like this: belly, awl. In the 13th century, the hardening of hissing [zh], [sh], and in the 14th-15th centuries - [ts] occurred. Words with these sounds began to be pronounced firmly, but the spelling remained the same. The letter I after Zh, Sh, Ts recalls the former softness of hissing sounds and the sound [ts]. The final hardening of the sound [ts] in the 16th - 17th centuries. reflected in the letter: fathers, streets, Lisitsyn, chubby.
