    What it means

    Literally “on one leg.” Means very quickly, in a flash — “in no time,” “in a jiffy,” “back in a flash.” E.g. “zaraz wracam, na jednej nodze” — I’ll be right back, in a flash.

    Vocabulary

    • jedna — one (feminine)
    • noga — leg, foot

    Grammar note

    'Na jednej nodze' uses the locative of 'jedna noga' after 'na' — manner.

    Cultural context

    The image of hopping back on one leg — so fast you don't even need both legs.
