  What it means

  Literally “and a guitar.” Used to express that everything is going great, something turned out perfectly, or a situation is totally awesome. Can stand alone as a reaction: things worked out — “and a guitar!”

  Vocabulary

  • i — and
  • gitara — guitar

  Grammar note

  A minimal exclamatory phrase. No verb needed — the conjunction 'i' adds a sense of completeness, as if to say 'and that's the cherry on top.'

  Cultural context

  A quirky piece of Polish slang where the guitar symbolizes something cool or satisfying. Paired idiomatically with 'nie zawracaj mi gitary,' guitars clearly have special energy in Polish colloquial speech.
