And you can just do a couple of hours a week. You don't have to hire him full time.

00:00:23.777 --> 00:00:25.857
Cześć, Marta. Cześć, Roy.

00:00:27.037 --> 00:00:33.857
Co tam? Jak tam? Wszystko dobrze? All right. Nothing new. Nothing new.

00:00:34.817 --> 00:00:37.357
I play all the time football with my son.

00:00:38.737 --> 00:00:43.017
I'm not young. Now I feel everything.

00:00:43.677 --> 00:00:46.837
It hurts everything. My son plays for 4 hours. No problem.

00:00:48.597 --> 00:00:52.777
But you know, now is the winter weather. It's like summer weather.

00:00:53.637 --> 00:00:59.237
Now, the holidays are getting closer and closer and tell me,

00:01:00.197 --> 00:01:02.337
do you have some plans for the UK?

00:01:02.997 --> 00:01:07.277
I think it's a day, because I don't like it when there are a lot of people.

00:01:07.477 --> 00:01:10.337
It's better when it's later, for the summer.

00:01:10.917 --> 00:01:16.137
For example, in Greece or in Wohok or in Hispania, the weather is good,

00:01:16.437 --> 00:01:17.717
but there are no many people.

00:01:18.497 --> 00:01:23.077
Yes, yes, yes, in Greece, in Hispania, somewhere in Turkey or in Wohok.

00:01:23.437 --> 00:01:29.177
It's true. Ja też teraz lubię podróżować poza sezonem.

00:01:29.517 --> 00:01:34.817
Ponieważ jest mniej ludzi, tak jak mówisz, jest też taniej trochę,

00:01:35.237 --> 00:01:39.237
a pogoda jest super. Prawda?

00:01:39.777 --> 00:01:44.097
Dni, dni The days are a bit shorter, but...

00:01:44.906 --> 00:01:49.826
It doesn't have a lot of difference, right? Yes, I was also in the spring,

00:01:50.166 --> 00:01:51.746
in the spring, on vacations.

00:01:52.126 --> 00:01:56.066
And since that time, only from spring to spring.

00:01:57.946 --> 00:02:09.566
Okay. Vacation is there, but today we are talking about idioms related to the word eye or eyes.

00:02:09.786 --> 00:02:13.366
We will be talking about the idioms with word eye,

00:02:13.366 --> 00:02:16.626
ice in polish i prepared

00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:19.806
only a few but there's much more

00:02:19.806 --> 00:02:23.746
you can write some down

00:02:23.746 --> 00:02:33.846
if you know some of them but maybe in another part will turn out later but let's

00:02:33.846 --> 00:02:41.506
see ok one of the first one of the first wpaść komuś w oko.

00:02:44.366 --> 00:02:47.366
It's like make a hit with somebody, tak?

00:02:48.946 --> 00:02:53.426
Na przykład, na przykład, byłam wczoraj gdzieś na mieście.

00:02:53.786 --> 00:02:57.026
Yes, I was somewhere out yesterday.

00:02:58.006 --> 00:03:04.146
I no, muszę przyznać, I have to admit that. Ten mężczyzna wpadł mi w oko, yeah?

00:03:05.626 --> 00:03:09.106
Okay. Have you ever heard it before?

00:03:10.026 --> 00:03:13.246
I suppose we just said, like, you make a spark with somebody,

00:03:13.406 --> 00:03:15.906
instead of make a hit with somebody, it's kind of spark.

00:03:16.726 --> 00:03:21.166
Yeah, true, true, true. So worth remembering, because many people,

00:03:21.386 --> 00:03:23.446
when it comes to some slang, use it.

00:03:23.886 --> 00:03:27.566
Yes? Paść komuś w oko. Tak? Padł mi w oko.

00:03:28.486 --> 00:03:31.946
Oj, chyba, chyba, chyba wpadłeś jej w oko. Tak?

00:03:33.046 --> 00:03:36.266
So it's not, obviously, basically, without context.

00:03:36.626 --> 00:03:41.266
Paść coś, paść komuś. For example, we are outside, yes.

00:03:41.826 --> 00:03:45.126
And some, I don't know, what can...

00:03:45.869 --> 00:03:52.329
Yes, some flies, yes, around the end. Oh, padło ci coś do oka, tak, for example.

00:03:53.009 --> 00:03:58.409
And then our eye becomes like red, yeah?

00:03:59.449 --> 00:04:03.649
Roy, are you there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, Ron, yeah. It must have froze,

00:04:03.889 --> 00:04:06.689
did it, on your side. Okay, okay, because... Yeah.

00:04:07.809 --> 00:04:17.829
Yes, yes, for a while. Yes, I wasn't sure. Okay. So, the next is rzucić na coś okiem.

00:04:17.989 --> 00:04:19.569
Tak? Rzucić na coś okiem.

00:04:20.009 --> 00:04:21.829
So, glance at something.

00:04:22.389 --> 00:04:28.429
Like, look at something quickly. Or, reach something quickly.

00:04:28.809 --> 00:04:31.029
Yeah? Tak? A wiesz co?

00:04:31.989 --> 00:04:33.949
Rzuć na to okiem. Dobra?

00:04:35.449 --> 00:04:40.769
Wystarczy, tak? Jakby, rzuciłam na to okiem, wiem o co chodzi.

00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:42.349
Yes? I just glanced at it.

00:04:42.729 --> 00:04:45.629
I know what it's about. And it's okay.

00:04:46.309 --> 00:04:49.369
Przekład, przed egzam. Tak, tak, tak.

00:04:50.069 --> 00:04:52.789
Bo myślę, że będzie pomoc. Tak.

00:04:55.889 --> 00:05:02.569
Basically, also rzucić means like, for example, throw. Yes? Tak. Rzuć piłkę. Rzuć piłkę.

00:05:04.009 --> 00:05:09.729
So, yeah. Rzucić znaczy, okay. It's really common. I recommend it. Polecam.

00:05:11.169 --> 00:05:15.729
The next, oko w oko, if you would like to translate it directly into English,

00:05:15.889 --> 00:05:18.769
it will be like eyeball to eyeball.

00:05:18.989 --> 00:05:24.969
Yeah, but basically when it comes to meaning, it's like face-to-face.

00:05:25.289 --> 00:05:29.769
Obviously, in Polish language, we also have like twarzą w twarz,

00:05:29.889 --> 00:05:33.909
spotkajmy się, let's meet twarzą w twarz, face-to-face.

00:05:34.409 --> 00:05:41.149
But oko w oko is also another version of this saying. np.

00:05:42.728 --> 00:05:47.648
Oh, another related to it is Porozmawiajcie w cztery oczy.

00:05:50.548 --> 00:05:55.208
We'll talk with four eyes. Yes, exactly. But also, oko w oko,

00:05:55.348 --> 00:05:57.448
tak? Oko w oko, face to face.

00:05:59.048 --> 00:06:00.868
Strach ma wielkie oczy.

00:06:03.728 --> 00:06:08.628
Fear has big eyes. I don't know that it's common to say it like this in English.

00:06:10.188 --> 00:06:13.768
Not really. No, but it makes sense. I mean, it's good, but yes,

00:06:14.628 --> 00:06:19.328
makes sense in some situations, uh, but yeah, in Polish it exists.

00:06:21.528 --> 00:06:23.228
Don't be afraid of, yeah.

00:06:26.388 --> 00:06:30.348
So that's why it's so, it's so common saying in Polish, I would say,

00:06:30.548 --> 00:06:32.668
maybe not so common, but it's known.

00:06:33.368 --> 00:06:38.308
And it's like, it's literally the direct translation into English.

00:06:38.548 --> 00:06:46.508
Yes. Fear, strach, wielkie, wielki, like big, oczy, eyes. Okay.

00:06:47.708 --> 00:06:54.228
And one of the last is oczy szeroko otwarte. Keeps one's eyes open, tak?

00:06:55.288 --> 00:06:59.088
Czyli... Na przykład nie ufasz tym pan. Exactly.

00:06:59.668 --> 00:07:06.908
Nie ufaj tak do końca, tak? Miej oczy... Yes, exactly. Miej oczy szeroko otwarte, tak?

00:07:07.608 --> 00:07:09.648
Yeah, for example. Yeah.

00:07:10.668 --> 00:07:17.548
And probably the last one is nie zmrużyć oka. So not get a wink of sleep.

00:07:18.468 --> 00:07:23.668
Nie zmrużyłam oka. So that means I didn't close my eyes, the kind of translation is, yeah?

00:07:24.088 --> 00:07:28.348
Yes, yes, yes. Like basically, yes, I haven't been sleeping.

00:07:28.768 --> 00:07:33.288
Yeah, I just, jestem nieprzytomna. I'm like unconscious like today.

00:07:34.028 --> 00:07:40.548
Yes, because the lack of sleep, tak? Nie zmrużyłam oka. today completely. I'm not asleep.

00:07:41.168 --> 00:07:44.228
I want to sleep. I want to... I don't know.

00:07:46.168 --> 00:07:49.148
So we're going. Don't break your eyes.

00:07:50.188 --> 00:07:55.588
Okay, and it was the last thing which I prepared. Thank you for listening. Thank you.
