    What it means

    Literally “as if nothing ever happened.” Means to carry on as if nothing occurred — to act completely normally after something embarrassing, dramatic, or significant, pretending it didn’t happen.

    Vocabulary

    • jakby — as if (conditional)
    • nigdy — never
    • nic — nothing

    Grammar note

    'Jakby' introduces a counterfactual comparison. 'Nigdy nic' — never nothing, i.e. as if nothing ever was.
