przepisie

Przepisie is the locative singular form of the Polish noun przepis. The base noun przepis has several related meanings, including an instruction or rule, a text outlining steps for preparing food (a recipe), and a formal direction such as a prescription or statutory provision.

In everyday language, przepis most commonly refers to a set of instructions for preparing dishes, with the most frequent forms being przepis (nominative) and przepisu (genitive). The locative form przepisie is used when the word appears after prepositions that require the locative case, typically in contexts describing content or location within a text, such as w przepisie na ciasto (in the recipe for a cake). An additional sense of przepis is a rule or provision within a legal or organizational text, though in that sense the surrounding grammar often favors other cases (for example, zgodnie z przepisem, using instrumental).

Grammatical note: przepisie functions as the locative form and is not commonly used on its own outside fixed expressions. It coexists with related forms such as przepis (nominative), przepisu (genitive), przepisowi (dative), przepisem (instrumental), and przepisie (locative), reflecting standard Polish noun declension for masculine inanimate nouns ending with -pis. See also przepis kulinarny, przepis prawny, and the broader concept of przepis as instruction or regulation.
