    What it means

    Literally “as if nothing had ever happened.” Describes someone acting completely normally after something significant or awkward — brazening it out, carrying on as if nothing occurred.

    Vocabulary

    • gdyby — as if, if (conditional)
    • nigdy — never
    • nic — nothing

    Grammar note

    'Jak gdyby' introduces a counterfactual — 'as if it were the case that never anything.' A fixed phrase used as an adverb.
