  What it means

  Literally “to throw an eye.” Means to take a quick glance at something — to look briefly or casually.

  Vocabulary

  • rzucić — to throw (perfective)
  • oko — eye

  Grammar note

  'Okiem' is the instrumental of 'oko' — 'rzucić okiem' takes the instrumental. The perfective verb implies a single, completed action.

  Cultural context

  A very common, casual everyday phrase. You'd use it to ask someone to quickly check something: 'Możesz rzucić okiem?' (Could you take a look?)
