Grammar:
-
Elle est à personne mais à moi.
➔ Possessive 'à' with Indefinite Negative Pronoun
➔ The phrase "à personne" means 'to no one' or 'belonging to no one'. "À moi" means 'to me' or 'belonging to me'. This structure uses the preposition "à" to express possession, often with the verb 'être'.
-
Même tous les mots de la Terre suffiraient pas à dire ce qu'elle vaut pour moi.
➔ Conditional Present + Complex Relative Pronoun ('ce que')
➔ "Suffiraient" is in the conditional present tense, indicating a hypothetical or imagined situation. "Ce qu'elle vaut" is a complex relative pronoun ('ce que') meaning 'that which she is worth' or 'what she is worth'.
-
Comment faire si le paradis je le vois dans la pupille de ses yeux.
➔ 'Si' clause (Condition) + Direct Object Pronoun
➔ The "si" clause introduces a condition or hypothesis. "le" is a direct object pronoun that replaces "le paradis" to avoid repetition, meaning 'it' or 'him' depending on context.
-
Et si certains veulent ton mal, c'est parce qu'ils ont du mal à te ressembler.
➔ Indefinite Pronoun ('certains') + Idiomatic Expression ('avoir du mal à')
➔ "Certains" is an indefinite pronoun, meaning 'some people' or 'certain ones', referring to an unspecified group. "Avoir du mal à" is an idiomatic expression meaning 'to have difficulty doing something' or 'to struggle to do something'.
-
Elle a ce qu'elles n'ont pas.
➔ Complex Relative Pronoun ('ce que') + Negation
➔ "Ce que" is a complex relative pronoun that means 'that which' or 'what'. It introduces a subordinate clause, and "n'ont pas" is the standard French negation ('ne... pas').
-
Ils n'y arriveront pas.
➔ Adverbial Pronoun ('y') + Future Simple + Negation
➔ "Y" is an adverbial pronoun that replaces a place or a concept introduced by 'à', 'dans', 'en', etc., meaning 'there' or 'to it'. "Arriveront" is the verb 'arriver' in the future simple tense. "N'y... pas" is the standard negation.
-
Ils veulent qu'on s'oublie.
➔ Subjunctive Mood (after 'vouloir que') + Reflexive Verb
➔ The verb 'vouloir que' (to want that) typically requires the subjunctive mood for the following verb. "s'oublie" (from "s'oublier") is a reflexive verb, meaning 'to forget oneself' or 'to forget each other' in this context.
-
Parle plus d'avant. Plutôt d'après.
➔ Imperative Mood + Restrictive Negation ('ne... plus') + Comparative ('plutôt')
➔ "Parle" is in the imperative mood, giving a command or an instruction. "Plus d'avant" is an informal way of saying "ne parle plus d'avant" ('don't talk about before anymore'). "Plutôt d'après" means 'rather about after', indicating a preference.
-
Je suis prêt à leur faire retenir la leçon et à fermer la bouche de ses envieux.
➔ Causative 'Faire' + Indirect Object Pronoun + Infinitive

-
Laisse les parler dans le vent.
➔ Imperative + Direct Object Pronoun + Infinitive + Idiomatic Expression
➔ "Laisse" is the imperative form of 'laisser' (to let/allow). "Les" is the direct object pronoun (them). 'Laisser' followed by an infinitive means 'to let someone do something'. "Dans le vent" is an idiom meaning 'in vain' or 'pointlessly'.
-
Je l'aime à mort, je suis pas loin d'être Personne lui causera du tort.
➔ Idiomatic Expression ('à mort') + Indefinite Negative Pronoun ('Personne') + Indirect Object Pronoun
➔ "À mort" is an idiomatic expression meaning 'to death' or 'to the extreme', often used to intensify feelings (e.g., 'love to death'). "Personne" is an indefinite negative pronoun, meaning 'no one'. It functions as the subject here. "Lui" is the indirect object pronoun, meaning 'to him/her'.
