  What it means

  Literally “a vicious circle.” Describes a situation where one problem causes another, which in turn causes the first — a self-reinforcing loop with no exit.

  Vocabulary

  • błędny — erroneous / vicious / wandering
  • koło — circle / wheel

  Grammar note

  'Błędne' is the neuter adjective agreeing with 'koło.' Typically used with 'wpaść w' (to fall into): 'wpaść w błędne koło' — to get caught in a vicious circle.
