  What it means

  As the apple, so the skin; as the mother, so the daughter. The outer reflects the inner, and daughters take after their mothers.

  English equivalent

  Like mother, like daughter.

  Vocabulary

  • jabłko — apple
  • skórka — skin, peel
  • matka — mother
  • córka — daughter

  Grammar note

  'Jakie' (neuter) agrees with 'jabłko'; 'taka' (feminine) agrees with 'skórka'. The mother-daughter pair uses feminine forms.
