    Translation

    Lola is loyal, Jola is disloyal.

    Vocabulary

    • Lola — a female name
    • Jola — diminutive of the name Jolanta
    • lojalny / lojalna — loyal (feminine: lojalna)
    • nielojalny / nielojalna — disloyal (feminine: nielojalna)

    Grammar note

    Two parallel nominal predicates. 'Nie-' is the standard Polish negation prefix for adjectives. 'Lola' vs 'Jola' — the l/j minimal pair makes this a pronunciation test as well as a tongue twister.
