    What it means

    “Together with / in cahoots with / jointly.” Doing something in partnership or collaboration with someone — sometimes neutral, sometimes implying a shady alliance.

    Vocabulary

    • spółka — company, partnership
    • do spółki — jointly, in partnership

    Grammar note

    'Do spółki' uses the genitive of 'spółka' after 'do'. Followed by 'z' + instrumental: 'do spółki z kimś' (together with someone).

    Cultural context

    Can be neutral ('zrobili to do spółki' — they did it together) or slightly suspicious ('do spółki z oszustami' — in cahoots with fraudsters).
