  What it means

  Literally “without missing.” Means certainly, without fail, definitely — used to express that something will happen or is true beyond any doubt.

  Vocabulary

  • ani — not even / without
  • chybić — to miss (a target) / to fail

  Grammar note

  'Chybi' is third-person singular of 'chybić' (perfective). The phrase functions as a fixed adverbial — it modifies the whole sentence rather than a single word.

  Cultural context

  An older, slightly formal expression still in active use. You'll hear it in both spoken and written Polish.
