  What it means

  Literally “how many years do you have?” The standard Polish way to ask someone’s age — “how old are you?”

  Vocabulary

  • ile — how many / how much
  • masz — you have (2nd person singular of 'mieć')
  • lata — years (plural of 'rok')

  Grammar note

  'Ile' takes the genitive — 'lat' is the genitive plural of 'rok' (year). Note the irregular plural: rok → lata → lat.
