    What it means

    Literally “cool chief” or “chill, chief.” A very casual, colloquial expression meaning “no worries,” “take it easy,” or “it’s all good.”

    Vocabulary

    • spoko — chill / cool / no worries (colloquial)
    • wódz — chief / leader / warlord

    Grammar note

    'Wodza' is the genitive of 'wódz'. 'Spoko' is an informal clipping of 'spokojnie' (calmly).

    Cultural context

    A distinctly youthful, informal expression. Not something you'd say in a formal setting — purely conversational Polish slang.
