  English equivalent

  Don't judge a book by its cover.

  Vocabulary

  • szata — garment, robe, attire
  • zdobić — to adorn, to decorate, to embellish
  • człowiek — person, human being

  Grammar note

  'Szata' is the subject in nominative. 'Zdobi' is third-person singular present. 'Człowieka' is the accusative of 'człowiek'.
