  What it means

  From Saint Anne’s Day (26 July), both evenings and mornings turn cold. An expanded version of the same seasonal proverb, emphasising that the chill arrives at both ends of the day.

  Vocabulary

  • święta — saint (feminine)
  • Hanka — Hanka (familiar form of Anna/Anne)
  • zimny — cold
  • wieczór — evening
  • ranek — morning

  Grammar note

  'Zimne wieczory i ranki' — both nouns are in the nominative plural. 'Od świętej Hanki' is genitive after 'od'.

  Cultural context

  Saint Anne's feast day is 26 July. This variant stresses that both morning and evening temperatures drop after this date.
