  What it means

  “Third time’s the charm.” The third attempt is the one that succeeds — if something hasn’t worked twice, try once more.

  Vocabulary

  • trzy — three
  • sztuka — art, skill; piece; (here) the trick, the charm

  Grammar note

  'Do trzech razy' uses the genitive plural of 'raz' (time/instance) after 'do'. 'Sztuka' here means the art or trick of it.

  Cultural context

  Identical in meaning to the English 'third time's the charm.' Used to encourage one more attempt after two failures.
