    What it means

    Literally “to talk as if to a wall.” Means to talk to a brick wall — to speak to someone who isn’t listening or refuses to understand, making the conversation completely pointless.

    Vocabulary

    • gadać — to talk / to chat (colloquial)
    • ściana — wall

    Grammar note

    'Do ściany' uses the genitive of 'ściana' after 'do'. 'Jak do ściany' introduces the comparison.
