  What it means

  Literally “at the feet.” It is used to describe physical location (at the bottom of a mountain) or a metaphorical state of submission, admiration, or devotion. If the world is “u twoich stóp,” it means you have every opportunity available to you.

  Vocabulary

  • stopa — foot (the body part)
  • podnóże — the foot/base of a mountain
  • uległość — submission

  Grammar note

  The preposition 'u' always requires the genitive case. 'Stóp' is the genitive plural of 'stopa'. Note the vowel change from 'o' to 'ó' in the plural genitive.

  Cultural context

  This phrase sounds a bit more formal or poetic than the English "at the bottom." It is often found in literature and song lyrics.
