Significado
To include in consideration.
Contexto cultural
In Russian business culture, 'брать в расчёт' is a sign of 'concrete' (конкретный) thinking. It shows you aren't just dreaming but are looking at the hard facts. The phrase gained massive popularity during the era of 'Five-Year Plans' where every resource had to be strictly accounted for by the state. Classic authors often used this phrase to contrast a 'calculating' character with a 'soulful' one, often with a slightly negative moral undertone. In cities like Moscow, 'брать в расчёт' is frequently used when discussing traffic and logistics, reflecting the high-stress, time-sensitive environment.
Use the Negative for Impact
Saying 'Вы не берёте это в расчёт' is a very powerful way to point out a flaw in someone's logic during a debate.
Don't Overuse with People
Using this phrase about a person's feelings can make you sound cold. Use 'учитывать чувства' instead for a softer touch.
