  What it means

  “A piece of bread won’t fall from the sky.” Nothing comes for free — you have to work for what you need. A reminder that basic necessities require effort.

  There's no such thing as a free lunch.

  Vocabulary

  • kawałek — piece, chunk

  • spaść — to fall
  • niebo — sky, heaven

  Grammar note

  'Z nieba' uses the genitive after 'z' (from). 'Nie spadnie' is a negated future perfective.
