معنی
to work very hard
زمینه فرهنگی
The idiom is often used in the context of 'czyn społeczny' (social deed) or historical rebuilding efforts, where collective hard work was a matter of national survival. In Polish sports media, this phrase is the go-to description for a 'gritty' performance, especially when a team is technically weaker but wins through sheer effort. Polish universities are known for rigorous 'sesja' (exam periods). Students frequently use this idiom to describe the mental toll of studying. The imagery of 'squeezing' is linked to traditional agriculture, such as pressing hay or extracting oil, reflecting Poland's agrarian roots.
Use with 'z siebie'
To sound like a native speaker when talking about your own achievements, always use 'wycisnąć z siebie'. It shows self-discipline.
Don't over-pluralize
While 'poty' is plural, 'siódme' must also be plural to match it. Never say 'siódmy poty'.
