  What it means

  Literally “the devil knows.” Means nobody knows, it’s completely unclear — “the devil only knows,” “God knows,” “who knows.”

  Vocabulary

  • licho — devil, evil spirit
  • wiedzieć — to know

  Grammar note

  'Wie' is third person singular present of 'wiedzieć'. Used as a standalone expression of complete uncertainty.
