Przypomniała sobie babka dziewiczy wieczór.

English Phonemes: “p[sz]ih-poh-MNYAH-wah SOH-byeh BAHB-kah jyeh-VEECZ-ih VYEH-[cz]oor”

Literal Translation: She remembered herself grandmother virgin evening.

Elegant Translation: The grandmother remembered the virgin evening.

English Equivalent: You’ve outgrown something.

A “virgin evening” is the literal translation for a bachelorette party. Or a “hen do” for our British and Australian listeners.

This phrase is meant to joke about how a grandmother who has years of life experience and should know better, is suddenly regressing to a younger and more foolish time in her life. You use this phrase when someone says something silly or immature in conversation. 

Enjoy!
