Polish term
z innej gliny
Polish to English
Art/Literary
Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Oczywiście chodzi o grę słów - "dom ulepiony z innej gliny", bo mowa o zastosowanie różnego rodzaju tynków, glinki weneckiej itp. Czy ktoś ma pomysł jak zawrzeć dwa w jednym i oddać to znaczenie dosłowne oraz metaforyczne? Help!
