Questions & Answers about В этом кафе готовят вкусно.
Why is готовят in the 3rd person plural when we’re not talking about specific people?
Russian often uses 3rd person plural to mean people in general or an unspecified group: they (here) cook well = the staff / the cooks / people at this place cook well.
So готовят вкусно is a natural way to say They cook tasty (food) here without naming who exactly.
Is the subject missing? What is the implied subject?
Yes, it’s implied. The implied subject is something like они (they), meaning the café’s staff / cooks. Russian frequently omits pronouns when the verb ending already shows the person/number.
Why is it в этом кафе and what case is этом in?
В + a location meaning in/at usually takes the prepositional case.
So это → этом is prepositional singular (masculine/neuter), agreeing with кафе.
Why doesn’t кафе change form in the prepositional case?
