  What it means

  Literally “to feel mint.” To have a crush on someone, to fancy them — to feel a spark or attraction.

  Vocabulary

  • czuć — to feel
  • mięta — mint

  Grammar note

  'Miętę' is accusative of 'mięta'. The phrase is always used with 'do kogoś' (towards someone): 'czuć miętę do kogoś.'

  Cultural context

  A charming, old-fashioned-sounding slang phrase. The mint connection is unclear etymologically, which makes it all the more fun.
