Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2

Hmm, can I ask how you look for those idioms?? In most cases it is enough to translate directly word for word.

So, check jump in Polish. Then check on and the bomb. When you google the Polish sentence, you will get it immediately. It is very simple.

Is it dive bombing? Like a cannonball?


Depends. Some of them I know, some I feel are similar to English ones, others I search for in Polish. Were my answers in #86 correct?

Yeah, a cannonball.

What about 'carry someone on a ram'?

Yes, exactly.

As for your previous answers, yes, they are all correct. Terribly sorry, I somehow overlooked your post. I am getting old. :(:(:( Another proof of it is that I provided the same idiom within a few days.
Shyt, I am becoming demented like Novi!!!! That`s what I have always feared most.

Give them a piggyback?


Nah, you don't bore us to death........

I've repeated photo riddles on here so you're not alone :)

Another one: to be closer than further.

Is it the same as in English? To do everything it takes and work as hard as you can to achieve something?

To leave no stone unturned and to pull out all the stops are similar idioms.

Something occurring sooner rather than later, anytime now?

Yes, but you need to work on this explanation coz the something carries very specific meaning in the saying.


Seems so.

To the truth? Really not sure about this one.

Let`s try again. A hint: it concerns a certain even in human life. What event is due sooner than later for some people and for others the opposite?

The Big D....

How about : not reach sb`s feet??? I said it about Ironside in the context of me.

To not be worthy?

More like 'to be significantly worse than'... but the expression is 'nie dorastać do pięt' which literally is more like to not reach smn's heels....

pięta is heel (of the foot, not of a shoe)

I've not heard this phrase before but to me it suggests inequality. A mental midget if you like.

Exactly, X nie dorasta do pięt Y means that X is significantly inferior to Y in some respect..... I've heard it used in academic circles....

Yes! Apart from mental, I also use it in moral aspect. In case of Ironside or amiga, in both. hahaha

There is still one riddle about being closer which you took a bite at but didn`t finish off.

indeed what is with your obsession? Do you feel the urge to heal your inferiority complex by talking badly about a great person like me?
I don't really care, I find it funny you desperately want to prove that you are somehow better than me when all the evidence points to the opposite conclusion.
are you not embarrassed to yapp at my heels like that? lol!

Me, too! And I will do anything for fun. Ha!!!


Not at all. Why should I be embarassed with fun I provide to myself and others???????????


Good boy! :):):)

I presumed you'd looked at maf's post #103.

Death.

Yes!!!
PS. I can`t open maf`s posts. Some bug or something. So, ignore his input and continue guessing. :):):)

he's got a silly grudge against me for some reason (I can think of two don't know which is decisive) feel free to quote my posts so he will see them.. (or just quote me 'maf says 'X').
or don't.... whatever

Next riddle- to do sth from skylark to frog.

If he guesses correctly I can't do that or I'll be taking the credit for his answers which wouldn't be right.


Really? I'm surprised. To be honest I've lost track of who is and isn't ignoring each other. Novi periodically bores us to death with his ignore list and at the rate he's going he'll be in an echo chamber before long.


From early in the morning till late at night? Dawn to dusk so to speak.

I can`t force you to. But someone has to. If not, the riddle is not solved. :):):)


Me, too!!! :))::)


Exactly!!! Spoken in my most fave film in recent years:
Watch at 2:52

I've heard it a few times

What's the matter pawianku? Your inferiority complex flared up? lol!

Exactly!! I am glad to see you more joyful and optimistic today. Keep it up for the coming weeks, don`t be such a ku...... smutas. hahahaha buhahaha
