What it means
Literally “somehow it will be.” A very Polish expression of relaxed optimism or resigned hope — “it’ll work out somehow,” “we’ll manage,” “something will come up.”
Vocabulary

- być — to be
Grammar note
'Będzie' is third person singular future of 'być'. 'Jakoś' is an indefinite adverb — 'in some way or other'.
Cultural context
A quintessentially Polish attitude — a mix of optimism, fatalism, and improvisation. Often said with a shrug. Captures something deep about the Polish national character.
