Listen
What it means
“A great family, but everyone fends for themselves.” Despite noble lineage or a large clan, each person must look after their own interests. Family name doesn’t guarantee mutual support.
Vocabulary
- ród — family, lineage, clan
- wielki — great, large
- każdy — everyone, each
- sobie — for oneself
- robić — to do, to make
Grammar note
'Sobie' is the dative reflexive pronoun, indicating action done for oneself. 'Rób' is the imperative of 'robić'.
