  What it means

  Literally “to have something on the tip of one’s tongue.” Means you almost remember something — it’s right there but you can’t quite recall it.

  Vocabulary

  • koniec — tip / end
  • język — tongue / language
  • coś — something

  Grammar note

  'Na końcu języka' — 'końcu' is locative of 'koniec' after 'na'; 'języka' is genitive of 'język' after 'końcu' (the tip of the tongue).
