    What it means

    Literally “to measure your strength against your intentions.” Means to be realistic about what you can accomplish — don’t overestimate yourself or take on more than you can handle.

    Vocabulary

    • mierzyć — to measure
    • siły — strength / forces (plural)
    • zamiary — intentions / plans (plural)

    Grammar note

    'Siły' and 'zamiary' are both accusative plurals. 'Na zamiary' uses 'na' with the accusative.
