What it means
Frequent rain in April foretells a large fruit harvest. This folk farming proverb connects spring rain with the health of later crops.
Vocabulary
- deszcz — rain
- częsty — frequent
- wróżyć — to foretell, to augur

Grammar note
'Wróżą' is the third-person plural present of 'wróżyć'. 'Że … będzie dużo' is a clause with genitive 'owoców' after 'dużo'.
