  What it means

  “Misfortunes come in pairs.” Bad luck rarely strikes just once — troubles tend to arrive together or in quick succession.

  English equivalent

  Misfortunes never come singly. / When it rains, it pours.

  Vocabulary

  • nieszczęście — misfortune, bad luck
  • chodzić — to walk, to come (habitually)
  • para — pair

  Grammar note

  'Parami' is the instrumental plural of 'para', used here adverbially to mean 'in pairs'.
