Questions & Answers about После приёма я заказала доставку витаминов домой.
Why is it после приёма and not после приём?
Because the preposition после (after) requires the genitive case.
- Nominative: приём
- Genitive (used after после): приёма
So после приёма = after the appointment/visit/reception (depending on context).
What does приём mean here? Is it a “reception” or a “doctor’s appointment”?
Приём is a very common noun with a few everyday meanings. In this sentence, learners most often meet it as:
- (мед.) приём (у врача) = a doctor’s appointment / consultation / visit
But it can also mean: - a formal reception (event), or
- the act of receiving/accepting something
Context usually makes it clear (vitamins + delivery strongly suggests a medical/health-related visit).
Why is the verb заказала feminine? What if the speaker is male?
In the past tense, Russian verbs agree in gender (and number).
- я заказал = I ordered (male speaker)
- я заказала = I ordered (female speaker)
So заказала tells you the speaker is female.
