  What it means

  As a person appears, so they quietly remain. People’s true nature matches the impression they give — or, more cynically, people don’t change; they just become more of what they already seemed to be.

  Vocabulary

  • zdawać się — to seem, to appear
  • chyłkiem — stealthily, quietly, on the sly
  • zostawać — to remain, to stay

  Grammar note

  'Jakim… takim…' correlative using the instrumental case. 'Chyłkiem' is an adverb from 'chyłek' (stealth).
