  What it means

  As you raised your son, so he will deal with you. How you bring up your children determines how they will treat you when you are old.

  English equivalent

  You reap what you sow.

  Vocabulary

  • chować — to raise, to bring up
  • poczynać — to begin to act, to deal with

  Grammar note

  'Jakoś chował' — 'jakoś' is a contraction of 'jako' + 'ś' (enclitic second person singular past). 'Poczyna' is third person singular present.
