    What it means

    Literally “to take to heart.” Means to take something personally, to be deeply affected by criticism or bad news — to let it get to you.

    Vocabulary

    • brać — to take
    • serce — heart

    Grammar note

    'Do serca' uses the genitive of 'serce' after 'do.' The imperfective 'brać' implies a habitual tendency — someone who always takes things to heart.
