  What it means

  “Those who like each other also quarrel with each other.” Close relationships involve both affection and conflict. Bickering between friends or lovers is normal and even a sign of closeness.

  English equivalent

  The course of true love never did run smooth.

  Vocabulary

  • lubić się — to like each other
  • czubić się — to quarrel, to squabble, to fight

  Grammar note

  Both verbs are reflexive ('się'). The rhyme 'lubi / czubi' makes this easy to remember.
