  What it means

  Literally “light years.” Used both in the astronomical sense and figuratively to describe an enormous gap or difference — “light years ahead,” “light years apart.”

  Vocabulary

  • lata — years (plural of rok)
  • świetlny — light (adjective, from światło)

  Grammar note

  'Lata świetlne' — nominative plural. Used figuratively: 'jesteś lata świetlne przede mną' — you're light years ahead of me.
