what about the first one? فیلم_سکسی is the persian word for "erotic films", so once again we cannot escape from reality and the internet keeps being the main platform where adult content is consumed.
also this year there are some terms and expressions that remain in the list, such as, "water", "through", "gnocchi" or "friedrich nietzsche", which have become classic words in this classification.
it seems that correct pronunciation remains as important as ever and from now on there are no excuses to learn a new language since we launched a few weeks ago.
