  What it means

  Literally “to give itself in signs.” Means to make itself felt — used when something unpleasant (pain, cold, a problem) becomes impossible to ignore and starts causing real trouble.

  Vocabulary

  • dawać się — to make itself / to let itself
  • znaki — signs (plural of 'znak')

  Grammar note

  'We znaki' uses the accusative plural after 'w/we'. The reflexive 'się' makes this impersonal — the subject is whatever is causing trouble.
