What does قطرة العين mean literally, and why is it singular?

Literally, قطرة العين means the eye drop or more literally the drop of the eye.

A few useful points:

• قطرة = a drop
• العين = the eye
• Together, قطرة العين is a normal Arabic way to say eye drops / eye-drop medicine

Even though English often says eye drops in the plural, Arabic can use the singular noun for the medicine item or bottle.

What does بخاخ الانف mean word for word?

Word for word:

• الانف = the nose

So بخاخ الانف means nasal spray.

Like قطرة العين, this is a noun + noun structure, where the second noun explains what kind of thing it is.

Because in Arabic, the present-tense verb to be is usually not said.
