    Translation

    It's because of my sister that I grind my teeth in helpless rage.

    Vocabulary

    • zgrzytać — to grind, to grate (1st sg. present: zgrzytam)
    • ząb — tooth (instrumental pl.: zębami)
    • bezsilny — helpless, powerless (locative fem.: bezsilnej)
    • wściekłość — rage, fury (locative: wściekłości)

    Grammar note

    'Przez siostrę' takes the accusative after 'przez' (because of). In 'zgrzytam zębami', 'zębami' is instrumental, meaning grind with one's teeth. 'W bezsilnej wściekłości' uses the locative after 'w' (in helpless rage).
