  What it means

  Literally, “persistent work will overcome everything.” The saying means that steady effort can overcome obstacles. It encourages people to keep working towards a goal when progress is slow, stressing long-term effort rather than one short burst.

  English equivalent

  Perseverance conquers all.

  Vocabulary

  • praca — work, labor (feminine noun)
  • ustawiczna — persistent, continuous, unceasing (feminine adjective)
  • wszystko — everything (neuter pronoun, accusative)
  • przemoże — will overcome, will conquer (3rd person singular future perfective of przemóc)

  Grammar note

  "Przemoże" is the third-person singular future perfective of "przemóc" (to overcome). The perfective form presents a clear, completed future victory. "Ustawiczna" is feminine nominative, agreeing with "praca," and "wszystko" is the accusative direct object.

  Cultural context

  This proverb reflects the Polish respect for diligence and perseverance. Its tone is slightly formal, so it is more common in motivational writing, speeches, and old-style advice than in casual talk.
