  What it means

  Literally “to wet the bed,” this phrase refers to bedwetting — urinating in bed during sleep. It is used straightforwardly in the context of young children, and occasionally in humorous adult speech to describe an embarrassing loss of control.

  Vocabulary

  • moczyć — to wet, to soak (imperfective)
  • łóżko — bed

  Grammar note

  'Łóżko' is in the accusative case as the direct object of 'moczyć'. For neuter nouns like 'łóżko', the accusative form is identical to the nominative.
