Episode 126: Under No Pretext! Julia Tutko-Balena Download Pod żadnym pozorem. English Phonemes: “pohd [Ż]AHD-nihm poh-ZOH-rehm” Literal Translation: Under no pretext. Elegant Translation: Under no pretense. English Equivalent: Under no circumstances. This is a handy phrase to know. I used it earlier when my little one asked to walk the balance beam on the handrail between us and the river. You’ll hear many a Polish parent use this one with their kids to definitively squash a bad idea. I opened my mouth and my mother came out, so I had to share this with you all this week. “Over my dead body” is another great English equivalent. Enjoy! Pod = under [preposition] Żadnym = no, any [adj. masc. sing. obj. form] Pozorem = guise, pretence, circumstance [noun masc. sing. obj. form] Support the show on Patreon! www.patreon.com/howyousayfm Email us!
