  What it means

  “From a big cloud comes a small rain.” A big fuss or grand promises often lead to disappointing results. Used when something hyped up turns out to be underwhelming.

  English equivalent

  Much ado about nothing.

  Vocabulary

  • duży — big, large
  • chmura — cloud
  • mały — small, little
  • deszcz — rain

  Grammar note

  'Z dużej chmury' uses the genitive after 'z'. 'Będzie' is the future of 'być' (to be).
