dbfulano 3 | 4 4 Mar 2010 #1Hi Everyone,I hope all are enjoying a nice grammatical day today. :-)My question, in the event someone knows, is the origin of the phrase "jak ulu" as in a phrase such as- Jak tam dziś w pracy?- No tak, praca wre jak ulu!Enjoy!
OP dbfulano 3 | 4 4 Mar 2010 #3Ah yes, my apologies and thanks!But do you know the etymology by chance?:-)
aphrodisiac 11 | 2,437 4 Mar 2010 #4Praca wre jak w uluit is an expression and it means: the work is going as well as in a beehive- which means very busy.
AdamKadmon 4 Mar 2010 #5It's a beehive of activity in there! It roughly means 'praca wre jak w ulu'.Ul meaning beehive.
Bzibzioh 4 Mar 2010 #7it is an expression and it means: the work is going as well as in a beehive- which means very busy.Or it could mean it's noisy "Głośno jak w ulu"
