    Even in the rain, crickets chirp with feeling.

    Vocabulary

    • podczas — during (+ genitive)
    • deszcz — rain (genitive: deszczu)
    • czucie — feeling, sensation (instrumental: czuciem)
    • świerszcz — cricket (pl. świerszcze)
    • strzyc — to clip, to shear; here: to chirp (3rd pl. present: strzygą)

    Grammar note

    'Podczas deszczu' — genitive after 'podczas' (during). 'Z czuciem' — instrumental after 'z' (with feeling). 'Strzygą' is 3rd person plural present of 'strzyc' — used here metaphorically for the clipping sound of cricket chirps.
