"Ta droga jest za droga."

Translation: This road is too expensive.

[JanuszWoro3]

Here is a suggestion how they could use "droga" three times in one sentence:

Moja droga, ta droga jest za droga!
(My dear, this road is too expensive!)

[Haxprocessor]

Is this a common saying because of the rhyme, or just a cute phrase that they made up for this course?

[immery]

It is not a common saying ( I think)
but it is not a rare thing to complain about cost of building roads in Poland and/or cost of paid roads in Poland, and the pun that is common in that discussion.

[RobinB896941]

I (?mis)understood "ta droga jest za droga" in the sense of "this road is too expensive (to live in)" - a common complaint about the cost of housing in some parts of the UK.

Ah, yes, the hidden lesson within a lesson: Polish puns.

What is the difference between a road and a street?

[Jellei]

A street is a road in a built environment. So it is surrounded by buildings. A road doesn't have to.

[JanuszWoro3]

I wonder if they created a sentence with the two meanings of "mamy" - we have, and mom's (of mom, belonging to mom)...

[BenConway6]

Z nami my mamy mojej mamy wybrane bramy.
With us we have my mum's chosen gates.

[Jellei]

How about simple "Mamy mamy mamy" = "We have mom's moms"? :D

[Jellei]

I do not recall, but it's a nice idea :)

In the States the words "road" and "street" are often used interchangeably (in fact, I doubt that most people know what the official definition is). Is this not the case in Polish? I.e., is "ulica" strictly for paved roadways in an urban environment?

[Patrykpz]

So road and street are the same word here

[Jellei]

'street' is not accepted here, actually.

[J_Rzes]

Can you use za or zbyt?

[alik1989]

Both are accepted.

[Matt780998]

"Droga" can figuratively also mean "a way": "To nie jest droga Jedi, musi żyć!"

[torronoir]

Could one say "za droga droga".... at the back of the road??

[Jellei]

"za droga droga" is a noun phrase, it can't translate to that.

Perhaps you meant "za drogą drogą", which would be "behind the expensive road".

[deactivated user]

hahaha, nice)))

[AndyChoj]

This road is too dear (= expensive) was rejected?!

[Jellei]

Added now.
