Questions & Answers about במרשם כתוב לקחת את התרופה אחרי הארוחה.
What does במרשם mean exactly?
במרשם means in the prescription or on the prescription.
It is made of:
- ב־ = in / on / at
- מרשם = prescription
In English, we often say on the prescription, but Hebrew commonly uses ב־ in places where English might use in, on, or at.
Why is it כתוב and not a full verb like כתובים or נכתב?
Here כתוב literally means written, but in this kind of sentence it works like it says / it is written.
So במרשם כתוב... is a very common Hebrew pattern meaning:
- it is written on the prescription...
- or more naturally, the prescription says...
It is often used impersonally, without stating a subject. Hebrew does this a lot.
Why is לקחת in the infinitive?
