Polish term or phrase: w tamtym tygodniu
Does this refer to last week? Is this considered slang or standard Polish?
JamesBarto
last week
Explanation:
it is rather standard than slang, but "w zeszłym tygodniu" or "w ubiegłym tygodniu" would be 100% perfect. It's the same meaning.

last week / that week


Explanation:
It could mean "last week", although I would say in that case it's incorrect and it should read "w zeszłym tygodniu". It could also refer to any week in the past, but the context would need to specify which week is meant.

the other week


Explanation:
in 99% cases it means "last week" but in my opinion it may also mean 2 weeks ago. It is definitely spoken Polish, not very elegant at that. As Andrzej said, standard Polish would be "w ubiegłym/zeszłym tygodniu".
