- Polish
"Tych LAT" - plural
"Tego LATA" - singular, or "Te LATA" - plural, but serving another purpose
For example:
"I've met her last summer" -> "Poznałem ją zeszłego lata"
"Last years were very good" -> "Ostatnie lata były bardzo dobre"
"Chciałbym wrócić do młodzieńczych lat" -> "I'd like to return to years of youth"
Notice, how "lata" is a plural form of both "lato" (summer) and "rok" (year). "Dwa lata" can be translated to both "two years" and "two summers".
Same is true for "lat". "Dwóch lat" can be translated to both "two years" and "two summers".
The difference between "lat" and "lata" is therefore their usage.

It's the same word, but you use it with different numbers. You just have to remember them.
1 (jeden) rok
2(dwa)lata
3(trzy)lata
4(cztery) lata
But
5(pięć) lat
6(sześć) lat
7(siedem)lat
8(osiem)lat
9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21(lat)
22,23,24(lata)
25-31(lat
And again
32,33,34(lata)etc.
