Key Grammar Structures
-
J'peux pas te montrer ce qui m'attache
➔ Relative Pronouns (ce qui)
➔ "Ce qui" introduces a subject relative clause (= that which/things that). It refers to intangible or abstract concepts.
-
Tu pourrais t'en servir contre moi
➔ Pronominal Verb + Pronoun (s'en servir)
➔ "S'en servir" = to use it. "En" replaces the object introduced by "de". Reflexive construction adds nuance.
-
Par où j'suis passé t'as même pas fait le quart de chez moi
➔ Colloquial Omission (ne deletion)
➔ "T'as même pas" = Tu n'as même pas. Full standard French requires "ne...pas" negation. "Ne" is deleted in informal speech.
-
Y a mon côté niqué qui dit "oui"
➔ Past Participle as Adjective
➔ "Niqué" (past participle of niquer) functions as an adjective modifying "côté". Common in French to use past participles descriptively.
-
J'arrive tout en Gucci Gucci
➔ Preposition "en" for Material/State
➔ "En" describes being dressed/covered in a material/brand. Shows state or composition (= dressed head-to-toe in Gucci).
-
Ça arrache en cavale les condés en Cayenne
➔ Slang Verbs + Colloquial Terms
➔ "Arrache" (slang for speeds away), "en cavale" (on the run), "condés" (cops). Shows advanced informal French requiring cultural knowledge.
-
Équipe de sicarios dans la Cayenne
➔ Preposition "dans" for Means of Transport
➔ "Dans la Cayenne" (inside the Porsche Cayenne car). Unlike ships/planes where "en" is used, cars use "dans" for literal location.
-
Faut serrer les rangs, cramer des vages
➔ Impersonal "Faut" + Subjunctive Context
➔ "Faut" = Il faut (It is necessary). Shortened form requiring subjunctive mood in subordinate clauses, though not explicitly used here.
