  • & się = be wrong, be mistaken
#2

Can someone help please …

  • The Eng CM translation given is ‘We can’t fail’.
  • Can pomylić się be used in the sense of ‘to fail’? Should the translation be ‘We can’t be wrong’? Thanks!
#3

“We can’t fail” definitely isn’t the best possible translation here.

A more accurate way to translate the Polish sentence would be “We can’t be wrong” (as you suggested) or “We can’t make a mistake”.
