  What it means

  “Don’t tell anyone what goes on at home.” Keep family matters private. What happens inside the home should stay there ; airing domestic affairs to outsiders brings trouble.

  English equivalent

  Don't wash your dirty linen in public.

  Vocabulary

  • mówić — to say, to tell
  • nikt — nobody, no one
  • dziać się — to happen, to go on
  • dom — home, house

  Grammar note

  'Nie mów nikomu' ; 'nikomu' is the dative of 'nikt'. 'Co się dzieje w domu' ; 'w domu' is the locative of 'dom'.
