معنی
Changing the topic to something related.
زمینه فرهنگی
Using 'Между прочим' can be a way to 'soften' a request or a piece of news, making it seem less demanding. In meetings, it's used to bring up 'AOB' (Any Other Business) items casually. Classic authors like Chekhov used this phrase to show the rambling, natural nature of human thought. On Telegram and VK, it's often used in arguments to drop a 'knowledge bomb' or a fact that proves the other person wrong.
The Comma Rule
Always put a comma after 'Между прочим' if it's at the start of your sentence. It's the #1 mistake for learners.
Don't Overuse
Using it in every sentence makes you sound indecisive or scattered. Use it once or twice per conversation.

Softening Requests
