  What it means

  Literally “cup in cup.” Means exactly alike, identical — “the spitting image,” “a carbon copy.” Used especially of physical resemblance.

  Vocabulary

  • kubek — cup, mug

  Grammar note

  'W kubek' uses the accusative of 'kubek' after 'w'. The reduplication emphasises perfect fit — one cup fitting exactly into another.
