Episode 159: Dogs' Life! Julia Tutko-Balena Download Psi żywot! English Phonemes: “pshee [Ż]IH-voht” Literal Translation: Dogs’ life. Elegant Translation: Dog life. English Equivalent: Not fit for a dog. Going to the dogs. For the Birds. This phrase describes the idea that life is sub-optimal (unless you’re a dog). You have most of your basic needs met, but you’re not happy. Either you’re working too hard, you don’t get paid enough, your health isn’t 100%, or something. Something is preventing you from having a comfortable day-to-day. Usage-wise, one usually hears this phrase as a response to something in conversation. For example, someone is telling you about how their health care plan has a million and a half hoops to go through, or your friend is describing never-ending overtime at a job they need, or their house keeps having things break and break…. Basically, all of 2020 was barely fit for a dog. You can use this phrase to empathize with a friend, or put a button on your own story of sub-optimal circumstances. Either way, you will impress your Polish speaking friends/family for knowing it!
