  What it means

  Literally “to hide one’s head in the sand.” Means to ignore a problem and pretend it doesn’t exist — the equivalent of burying your head in the sand like an ostrich.

  Vocabulary

  • chować — to hide
  • głowa — head
  • piasek — sand

  Grammar note

  'Głowę' is accusative of 'głowa.' 'W piasek' uses the accusative after 'w' indicating motion into.
