    What it means

    Literally “the wolf is full and the sheep is whole.” Describes a situation where both parties are satisfied — nobody loses, everyone wins.

    Vocabulary

    • wilk — wolf
    • syty — full / satiated
    • owca — sheep
    • cały / cała — whole / intact

    Grammar note

    A copula-free nominative construction — 'wilk syty' and 'owca cała' are subject + predicate adjective pairs without an explicit verb.
