Episode 147: Fly Not Sits!

Mucha nie siada!

English Phonemes: “MOO-hah nyeh SHYAH-dah”

Literal Translation: Fly not sits!

Elegant Translation: A fly doesn’t sit!

English Equivalent: Flawless. Perfection.


This is a really fun phrase to express that something is beyond reproach. Something is so clean, or beautiful, or excellently executed that there is no place a fly could find to sit. I love this phrase. 


Mucha = fly [noun, fem. s. subj. form]
Nie = not, no [negates whatever comes next]
Siada = he/she/it will sit [verb, 3rd p. s., present tense]
