  What it means

  Literally “like father, like son.” Means a son resembles or takes after his father in character or behaviour — the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

  Vocabulary

  • ojciec — father
  • syn — son

  Grammar note

  'Jaki … taki' correlative construction — both adjectives are nominative masculine, modifying 'ojciec' and 'syn' respectively.
