Gruszki na wierzbie!

English Phonemes: “GROO[SZ]-kee nah VYE[Ż]-byeh”

Literal Translation: Pears on willow.

Elegant Translation: Pears on a willow tree.

English Equivalent: To promise the moon.

In Polish, we don’t promise the moon or the world, we promise to deliver pears on a willow tree. You can use this phrase the same way as the English counterparts :-)

Enjoy!
