    What it means

    Literally “to go to the devils.” Means to go to hell, to go to ruin — used to dismiss someone angrily or to describe something falling apart completely.

    Vocabulary

    • iść — to go
    • diabły — devils (accusative plural of 'diabeł')

    Grammar note

    'W diabły' uses the accusative after 'w'. Often used as an imperative: 'idź w diabły!' (go to hell!).

    Cultural context

    A milder alternative to stronger curses. Sending someone to the devils rather than somewhere more anatomical.
