  What it means

  “The woman her thing, the man his thing.” Both sides stubbornly stick to their own position. No one budges, no one listens. Used when two people are equally set in their ways.

  Vocabulary

  • baba — woman (folk/colloquial)
  • swoje — one's own thing (accusative of swój)
  • chłop — man, peasant

  Grammar note

  'Swoje' is the accusative neuter of 'swój' (one's own). The verb 'robi' or 'mówi' is implied — each person does or says their own thing.
