  What it means

  Literally “such work, such pay.” Means you get what you pay for — or that the reward matches the effort put in. Works both ways: poor work earns poor pay, good work earns good pay.

  Vocabulary

  • praca — work, labour
  • płaca — pay, wage

  Grammar note

  'Jaka … taka' is a correlative construction: 'such … such' / 'as … so'. Both nouns are nominative feminine.
