  What it means

  Literally “like amen in a prayer.” Means something is absolutely certain, inevitable — as sure as the amen at the end of a prayer. “As sure as night follows day.”

  Vocabulary

  • amen — amen
  • pacierz — prayer (traditional/folk word)

  Grammar note

  'W pacierzu' uses the locative of 'pacierz' after 'w' (in).

  Cultural context

  Rooted in the Catholic tradition that dominates Polish culture — the amen ending a prayer is the most predictable thing imaginable.
