    Translation

    Idzi walks and Idzi doesn't see that behind Idzi walks Idzi.

    Vocabulary

    • Idzi — Polish male name (old form of Giles; instrumental: Idzim)
    • iść — to walk, to go (3rd sg. present: idzie)
    • widzieć — to see (3rd sg. present: widzi)

    Grammar note

    'Za Idzim' — instrumental after 'za' (behind). 'Że za Idzim idzie Idzi' is a subordinate clause introduced by 'że' (that). The sentence exploits the near-homophony of the name 'Idzi' and the verb 'idzie'.
