    What it means

    Literally “through the whole time.” Means “the whole time,” “all along,” or “continuously.” Used to emphasize that something happened or was true without interruption throughout a period.

    Vocabulary

    • przez — through, for (preposition of duration)
    • cały — whole, entire
    • czas — time

    Grammar note

    'Przez' takes the accusative case, hence 'cały czas' (not 'całego czasu'). This is a very common temporal expression.
