«средства» is plural, «средство» is singular (just in case).
Средство is basically a means of doing something, a tool so to speak, or a medium. It's used in a variety of ways. Let me give you some examples: Средство для мытья посуды — dishwashing liquid (literally “a tool for washing dishes”). Средство от головной боли — a remedy for headache. Цель оправдывает средства is a saying meaning “the end justifies the means” (средства being means). Средства к существованию (or sometimes just средства, as in «нет средств») — money or wages (literally “means of existence”). Транспортное средство is a vehicle (a means of transport). I think you get the general meaning. In conversational everyday speech the word is mostly used in the meaning of medicine (as in средство от простуды), while the meanings of money and media are reserved for more formal occasions: news[papers] and laws. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |
