Questions & Answers about Близорукость и дальнозоркость указаны в рецепте на очки.
What does рецепт mean here? Does it really mean recipe?
In this sentence, рецепт means prescription, not recipe.
Russian рецепт can mean:
- recipe in a cooking context
- prescription in a medical or pharmacy context
So рецепт на очки means a prescription for glasses.
This is a very common point of confusion for English speakers because the word looks so much like recipe.
Why is it в рецепте? What case is рецепте?
В рецепте is in the prepositional case.
The preposition в often takes the prepositional case when it means in or inside a place/document/context.
So:
- рецепт = prescription
- в рецепте = in the prescription
The ending changes like this:
- nominative: рецепт
- prepositional: в рецепте
Here, the sentence is saying that the information is written/indicated in the prescription.
Why does Russian say рецепт на очки? Why на?
