  What it means

  As the mother, so the daughter. Daughters inherit their mothers’ traits, habits, and character.

  English equivalent

  Like mother, like daughter.

  Vocabulary

  • matka — mother
  • córka — daughter

  Grammar note

  'Jaka… taka…' correlative construction. Both nouns are feminine, so the adjectives take feminine forms.
