  What it means

  Literally “there is no smoke without fire.” Means every rumor has some basis in reality.

  Vocabulary

  • dym — smoke
  • ogień — fire

  Grammar note

  'Bez ognia' uses the genitive after 'bez' (without). 'Dymu' after 'nie ma' also requires genitive — negation demands genitive of the subject in Polish.
