  What it means

  Literally “to lie down in a coffin.” Means to be so exhausted, ill, or distressed that one feels close to death — “to be at death’s door,” “to be ready to drop dead.”

  Vocabulary

  • trumna — coffin

  Grammar note

  'Do trumny' uses the genitive of 'trumna' after 'do' (into). Often used hyperbolically: 'przez ciebie się do trumny położę' — you'll be the death of me.
