    Translation

    Don't pepper the pig with pepper, Peter, because without pepper the pig is better.

    Vocabulary

    • pieprz — pepper; also imperative of 'pieprzyć'
    • wieprz — pig (accusative: wieprza; genitive: wieprza)
    • bez — without (+ genitive)
    • lepszy — better (comparative of 'dobry')

    Grammar note

    'Bez pieprzu' — genitive after 'bez' (without). 'Wieprz jest lepszy' — nominative predicate with 'być' (to be). Compare: 'wieprza' (accusative, direct object of 'pieprzyć') vs 'wieprz' (nominative subject of 'jest lepszy').
