  What it means

  Literally “to drop weight” or “to shed weight.” This is the common Polish expression for losing weight. Using the perfective verb ‘zrzucić’ emphasizes the completed result or a significant achievement in a fitness journey.

  Vocabulary

  • zrzucić — to throw down / to shed / to drop
  • waga — weight / scales
  • chudnąć — to get thinner

  Grammar note

  'Wagę' is the accusative singular. The perfective 'zrzucić' implies the weight has already been lost, whereas 'zrzucać' (imperfective) describes the process of trying to lose it.

  Cultural context

  'Waga' also means the device you stand on to measure your weight (the scales).
