  What it means

  After Saint Dorothy’s day, scarves will dry on the fence. A variant of the same proverb, using the future tense rather than the imperative — predicting that laundry will dry outdoors from February 6th onward.

  Vocabulary

  • chusta — scarf, headscarf, cloth
  • wyschnąć — to dry out
  • płot — fence

  Grammar note

  'Wyschną' — third person plural future perfective. Contrast with the imperative variant 'wieszaj'.
