    What it means

    Literally “to the power of.” Used mathematically for exponentiation, but also figuratively as an intensifier — “idiotyzm do potęgi” means idiocy to the nth degree.

    Vocabulary

    • do — to
    • potęga — power / might / exponent

    Grammar note

    'Potęgi' is the genitive of 'potęga' after 'do'. In maths: 'dwa do potęgi trzeciej' = two to the power of three.
