Love Anton Chekhov. In his story "В бане" a character says: "— Я, ваше высокородие, не банщик, я цирюльник-с." "Помните-с? Тогда же вы изволили меня насчет невест расспрашивать."
My question: I'm wondering if anyone can share where the ending -c comes from and the history behind it. Just a lisp or an accent thing? Thank you!!
Incidentally, I got this from a Russian language channel on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7VG3xLvjkMn5NByEVPyTQg
