• Listen

  What it means

  Literally “to talk as if to a post.” Means to talk to someone who isn’t listening or doesn’t understand — like speaking to a wall. Used in frustration when communication feels completely one-sided.

  Vocabulary

  • gadać — to talk, to chat (colloquial imperfective)
  • słup — post, pole, pillar

  Grammar note

  'Do słupa' uses the genitive after 'do' (to/towards). 'Gadać' is the colloquial equivalent of 'mówić'.
