  What it means

  “Upside down.” Literally “to the top with legs.” Used both literally (something is physically inverted) and figuratively (everything is turned upside down, in chaos).

  Vocabulary

  • góra — top, mountain
  • nogi — legs (plural)
  • do góry — upward, to the top

  Grammar note

  'Do góry' uses the genitive of 'góra' after 'do'. 'Nogami' is instrumental plural of 'noga'.

  Cultural context

  Very common in everyday speech: 'świat do góry nogami' (the world turned upside down).
