  What it means

  Literally “to the point of pain.” An intensifier meaning painfully, excessively, or to an extreme degree. Can be used admiringly (“aż do bólu szczery” — painfully honest) or critically (“aż do bólu nudny” — unbearably boring).

  Vocabulary

  • aż — as far as / all the way to / even
  • ból — pain

  Grammar note

  'Do bólu' uses the genitive of 'ból' after 'do.' 'Aż' intensifies the phrase, pushing it to an extreme. The construction modifies adjectives or adverbs.
