  What it means

  “Sausage is not for the dog, honey is not for piglets.” Some things are simply not meant for certain people — you don’t always get what you want, and not everything is within your reach.

  English equivalent

  That's not for the likes of you.

  Vocabulary

  • pies — dog
  • kiełbasa — sausage
  • prosię — piglet
  • miód — honey

  Grammar note

  'Dla psa' and 'dla prosiąt' both use the genitive case after 'dla'. 'Prosiąt' is the genitive plural of 'prosię'.
