意味

🌍

文化的背景

Czechs often use the word 'prášky' (pills) even if the medicine is a capsule or a liquid. It's the universal colloquial term. When a doctor prescribes medicine, they will often write 'S.A.P.' or specific times. Czechs are generally very punctual about 'brát léky' exactly as told. It is very common and socially acceptable to decline alcohol by saying 'Beru léky'. No further explanation is usually required. Many Czechs supplement their 'léky' with 'čaje' (teas) from the pharmacy, which has a dedicated section for 'bylinné směsi' (herbal mixes).
