  What it means

  “Easy come, easy go.” Things gained without effort are lost just as easily. What costs nothing is not valued and not kept.

  English equivalent

  Easy come, easy go.

  Vocabulary

  • łatwo — easily
  • przyjść — to come, to arrive
  • pójść — to go, to leave

  Grammar note

  Both verbs are in the past tense neuter form ('przyszło', 'poszło'), used impersonally — 'it came easily, it went easily'.
