Key Grammar Structures

• Savais pas ce que je te disais

  ➔ Informal negation (omission of "ne") and indirect question with "ce que".

  ➔ ""Savais pas"" is the informal spoken form of ""Je ne savais pas"". ""Ce que"" introduces an indirect question, functioning as a relative pronoun for things (""what/the thing that"").

• Des fois elle écoute, elle me répond pas

  ➔ Informal negation (omission of "ne").

  ➔ In spoken French, the ""ne"" part of the ""ne... pas"" negation is often omitted, making the negation less formal but still clear. The full form would be ""elle ne me répond pas"".

• Après qu'on se soit insulté

  ➔ "Après que" + Subjunctive (Passé Composé du Subjonctif).

  ➔ While ""après que"" (after) is often followed by the indicative mood in modern French, some grammarians or formal contexts prefer the subjunctive, especially when expressing a completed action in the past relative to another event. ""On se soit insulté"" is the passé composé du subjonctif of ""s'insulter"".

• On a fini par déraper

  ➔ "Finir par" + infinitive.

  ➔ The construction ""finir par"" + infinitive means ""to end up (doing something)"" or ""to eventually (do something)"", indicating the final outcome of a series of events or actions.

• Je suis pas venu pour qu'on m'adore

  ➔ "Pour que" + Subjunctive + informal negation.

  ➔ ""Pour que"" (in order that, so that) always introduces a subordinate clause requiring the subjunctive mood in French (""qu'on m'adore""). ""Pas venu"" is the informal way of saying ""Je ne suis pas venu"".

• Je me la pète couleur wasabi

  ➔ Idiomatic reflexive pronominal verb "se la péter".

  ➔ ""Se la péter"" is a very informal, colloquial expression meaning ""to show off,"" ""to boast,"" or ""to think highly of oneself"". It's a common slang idiom in modern French.

• Sur personne tu peux compter

  ➔ Dislocation/Fronting of a negative pronoun for emphasis.

  ➔ In spoken and informal French, negative pronouns or adverbs (like ""personne"") can be placed at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis, often with the ""ne"" omitted in the main clause. The standard construction would be ""Tu ne peux compter sur personne"".

• Faut écouter ce que mama a dit

  ➔ Impersonal verb "il faut" (shortened to "faut") + "ce que".

  ➔ ""Il faut"" expresses necessity or obligation. In informal speech, ""il"" is often dropped, leaving just ""faut"". ""Ce que"" means ""what"" (the thing that) and introduces a noun clause.

• Avec elle j'aime quand on parle

  ➔ "Quand" introducing a subordinate clause with the impersonal pronoun "on".

  ➔ ""Quand"" (when) introduces a temporal clause. ""On"" is a very common informal pronoun used to mean ""we,"" ""one,"" or ""people in general"".

• Personne ne veut porter le chapeau

  ➔ Negative pronoun "personne ne" + idiom "porter le chapeau".

  ➔ ""Personne ne"" is a negative pronoun meaning ""nobody"" or ""no one"". ""Porter le chapeau"" is a French idiom meaning ""to take the blame"" or ""to be held responsible for something"".
