  Literally “into a pile / together.” Means all together, in one place, gathered up — “all together,” “in a heap,” “piled up.” E.g. “zebrać wszystko na kupę” — to gather everything together.

  Vocabulary

  • kupa — pile, heap; colloquially: poop

  Grammar note

  'Na kupę' uses the accusative of 'kupa' after 'na' — direction/result.

  Cultural context

  The double meaning of 'kupa' (pile and excrement) makes this phrase a source of endless humour for Polish children.
