  What it means

  Literally “to not be in the sauce.” Means to be in a bad mood, feeling down, or off your game. Example: “Co ty taki nie w sosie?” — “What’s got you so down?”

  Vocabulary

  • sos — sauce / gravy
  • nie w sosie — not in the sauce — in a bad mood

  Grammar note

  'W sosie' uses the locative of 'sos' after 'w.' The negation 'nie' before the phrase flips it to the bad-mood meaning.
