What it means
“A hungry person will reproach another hungry person.” Even those who share the same hardship can be unkind to each other. Misery does not always breed compassion.
Vocabulary
- głodny — hungry (person)
- wypomnieć — to reproach, to throw something in someone's face
Grammar note
'Wypomni' is the third-person singular future of 'wypomnieć'. The dative 'głodnemu' marks the person being reproached.
