  What it means

  Literally “the further into the forest, the more trees.” Means the deeper you get into something, the more complicated it becomes — things get more involved the further you go.

  Vocabulary

  • im … tym — the … the (comparative construction)
  • dalej — further
  • las — forest
  • drzew — trees (genitive plural)

  Grammar note

  The 'im … tym' construction pairs two comparatives: 'im dalej' (the further) + 'tym więcej' (the more). Very common pattern in Polish.
