  What it means

  Literally “to take the top / the high ground.” Means to gain the upper hand, to prevail, to start winning — when one side or feeling begins to dominate.

  Vocabulary

  • brać — to take
  • góra — top / mountain / upper hand

  Grammar note

  'Górę' is the accusative of 'góra' — direct object of 'brać.' The imperfective implies a gradual process of gaining dominance.
