  What it means

  Literally “mountain will never meet mountain, but people will always meet each other.” Means that no matter how far apart people are or how unlikely a reunion seems, humans will always cross paths again. A reminder to part on good terms.

  Vocabulary

  • góra — mountain
  • zejść się — to meet, to come together (perfective)
  • człowiek — person, human

  Grammar note

  'Z górą' and 'z człowiekiem' use the instrumental after 'z' (with). 'Się nie zejdzie' is a reflexive negated perfective future.

  Cultural context

  One of the most beloved Polish farewell sayings — often quoted when parting with someone you may not see for a long time.
