    око - is this word still in use today?

    I am wondering if the word "око" is still in use today. Is the saying "око за око" commonly understood?

    It's commonly understood, but is considered outdated or/and poetic, so it's used nowadays only in idiomatic/expressions: "око за око", "в мгновение ока" (instantly, in the twinkling of an eye), etc.

    Око is commonly understandable. But nowadays it is used mainly in some idiomatic expressions and in poetry. Otherwise it sounds too archaic.
