  What it means

  Literally “inseparable little parrots.” This refers to lovebirds, but idiomatically it describes any two people who are always together—be it a romantic couple, siblings, or best friends. It’s usually used in a sweet or slightly teasing way.

  Vocabulary

  • papużka — little parrot (diminutive of papuga)
  • nierozłączny — inseparable

  Grammar note

  A plural noun-adjective phrase. 'Nierozłączki' is actually a noun (the species name for lovebirds), used here as an appositive to 'papużki'.

  Cultural context

  This is a very common and affectionate way to describe a couple that does everything together.
