  What it means

  Leave the dog alone and the dog will give you two (in return). Meaning: if you don’t bother someone, they won’t bother you — and peace is its own reward.

  Vocabulary

  • spokój — peace, calm
  • dać — to give
  • pies — dog

  Grammar note

  'Daj' is imperative. 'Ci' is the dative of 'ty' (to you). 'Da dwa' — gives two (back).

  Cultural context

  Advises against provoking trouble unnecessarily.
