  What it means

  Literally “you won’t break through a wall with your head.” Means that stubbornly fighting against something immovable is pointless — you can’t force your way through sheer obstinacy. Know when to stop.

  Vocabulary

  • głowa — head
  • mur — wall
  • przebić — to break through, to pierce (perfective)

  Grammar note

  'Głową' is the instrumental singular — indicating the instrument used. 'Muru' is the genitive singular after the negated verb.
