Grammar:
-
4-4-2, c'est pas celui de Xavi
➔ Demonstrative pronoun, informal negation, preposition 'de' for possession.
➔ The phrase "`c'est pas celui de`" is an informal way to say "it's not the one of". "`celui`" is a demonstrative pronoun (masculine singular) used to refer back to "4-4-2" (a football formation), avoiding repetition. The negation "`pas`" is used informally without "`ne`". "`de Xavi`" indicates possession or origin.
-
De mes négros, c'est moi le plus gentil
➔ Superlative adjective, informal subject emphasis/dislocation.
➔ " `le plus gentil` " is the superlative form of the adjective "gentil" (kind), meaning "the kindest". The sentence structure "`De mes négros, c'est moi...`" uses subject dislocation for emphasis, where the subject "`moi`" is placed after "`c'est`" and further emphasized by being introduced by the prepositional phrase "`De mes négros`" at the beginning, meaning "Among my friends/homies".
-
Pour faire des vues, pas besoin de parler d'autrui
➔ Infinitive clause of purpose, impersonal expression, informal negation.
➔ " `Pour faire des vues` " uses "`pour`" + infinitive to express purpose, meaning "in order to get views". "`pas besoin de`" is an impersonal expression meaning "no need to", used here informally without "`il n'y a`" and with "`pas`" instead of "`ne pas`" for negation. "`parler d'autrui`" means "to talk about others".
-
Je leur mets des feintes, comme Doué
➔ Indirect object pronoun, partitive article.
➔ " `leur` " is an indirect object pronoun (to them/for them), placed before the conjugated verb "`mets`" (from "mettre"). It indicates that the action of "putting feints" is directed "to them". "`des feintes`" uses the partitive article "`des`" (some) for an indefinite plural quantity of "feints" (dribbling moves).
-
J'fais preuve de malice comme le fait Boui
➔ Idiomatic expression 'faire preuve de', comparative structure 'comme le fait'.
➔ " `J'fais preuve de malice` " is an idiomatic expression "`faire preuve de`" meaning "to show proof of" or "to demonstrate" followed by the noun "malice" (cunning/mischief). The phrase "`comme le fait Boui`" uses "`comme`" + definite article "`le`" (referring to the action) + verb "`fait`" (from "faire") to compare the speaker's action to Boui's actions, meaning "just like Boui does". "`J'fais`" is an informal contraction of "Je fais".
-
Il m'suffit d'une ref', comme Speed et Sui
➔ Impersonal verb 'suffire de', indirect object pronoun, informal contraction.
➔ " `Il m'suffit de` " is an impersonal verb construction meaning "It is enough for me to" or "I only need". "`m'`" is the indirect object pronoun (me) placed before the verb "suffit". "`d'une ref'`" is a contraction of "`de une référence`" (of a reference), indicating what is sufficient.
-
On l'a fait bosser, non fait pas une tonne, désolée
➔ Causative construction 'faire + infinitive', informal negation/idiom.
➔ " `On l'a fait bosser` " uses the causative construction "`faire`" + infinitive ("bosser" - to work) with the past participle. This means "We made her work" or "We had her work". "`l'`" is the direct object pronoun referring to "her". "`non fait pas une tonne`" is an informal and somewhat obscure expression likely meaning "not a lot" or "not too much", using informal negation without "`ne`".
-
T'as beau m'dire que tu n'as pas peur
➔ Concessive construction 'avoir beau'.
➔ " `T'as beau m'dire` " uses the concessive construction "`avoir beau`" + infinitive. It expresses that despite an action, the result is contrary or ineffective. Here it means "Even though you tell me" or "In vain you tell me". "`T'as`" is an informal contraction of "Tu as".
-
Les issues d'secours, tu f'ras qu'les chercher
➔ Restrictive negation 'ne...faire que', informal contraction.
➔ " `tu f'ras qu'les chercher` " uses the restrictive negation "`ne...faire que`" (here informally without "`ne`" and with "`f'ras`" as an informal contraction of "feras" - future tense of "faire"). This construction means "to do nothing but" or "to only do". So, "you will only look for them". "`les`" is a direct object pronoun.
-
Elle s'est fait casser par des gars de chez moi
➔ Causative passive construction 'se faire + infinitive' for something done to oneself.
➔ " `Elle s'est fait casser` " uses the causative passive construction "`se faire`" + infinitive. This structure implies that the subject (she) had something done to her, often by someone else or through an external action, rather than doing it herself. In this context, "`se faire casser`" means "to be broken" or "to get damaged/beaten up" (informal/slang). It acts as a passive voice where the subject is the victim of the action.
