Кому що, а курці просо. Komu shcho, a kurtsi proso
🤨 What does it ACTUALLY mean? →
🇬🇧 What you'd actually say
“He only ever talks about one thing.”
also: “Everyone has their obsession.” · “Back to his favourite subject again.”
- 📖 Meaning
- Said when someone keeps returning to their own pet subject, whatever the conversation.
- 💡 Why it's funny
- The hen is not being compared to anyone in particular — she is simply the standard unit of single-mindedness.
- 🧭 Closest English idiom
- No direct English equivalent. English has 'a one-track mind' and 'to each their own', but neither carries the affectionate eye-roll of watching someone steer every conversation back to the same topic. There is no single English idiom for that.
- 📝 Explanation
- Affectionately mocking. The person is not wrong to care, they are just incapable of talking about anything else.
