Grammar:
-
Laisse-moi t'dire deux, trois conneries, avant que t'en fasses une
➔ Subjunctive Mood (avant que)
➔ The expression "avant que" requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. "fasses" is the subjunctive form of the verb "faire". This is because the action in the subordinate clause is uncertain or anticipated.
-
Le problème de la vie c'est qu'y en a qu'une
➔ Cleft sentence (c'est ... que)
➔ This sentence is a cleft sentence, used to emphasize a particular element (in this case, the fact that there is only one life). The structure "c'est ... que" is typical of cleft sentences in French. "une" refers to "vie"
-
On soignera jamais la dépression comme on soigne un rhume
➔ Comparison using "comme"
➔ "Comme" is used to make a comparison between two things. Here, it compares treating depression to treating a cold, emphasizing the difference in complexity.
-
Mais dis-toi que tu pourras compter sur moi le temps qu'ça dure
➔ Subjunctive Mood (le temps que)
➔ Though not strictly required, using the subjunctive after "le temps que" is common, especially when the duration is uncertain. In spoken French, the indicative is also frequently used. "dure" is the subjunctive form of "durer".
-
Quand t'as l'désert à traverser, y a rien à faire, sauf d'avancer
➔ Expression "il y a rien à faire"
➔ "Il y a rien à faire" means "there is nothing to do". It expresses a lack of options or alternatives. The "sauf de/d'" then specifies the only possible action.
-
On en rira quand on l'verra sous un jour meilleur
➔ Future tense, pronoun "en"
➔ "On en rira" is in the future tense, indicating that they will laugh about it in the future. "En" refers to the situation they are currently in (the difficult time).
-
Des fois t'as besoin de soutien, des fois t'as besoin d'un ami
➔ Use of "des fois" with singular nouns
➔ "Des fois" means "sometimes". It's used here with the singular nouns "soutien" and "ami" to indicate that on some occasions, support or a friend is needed. While "fois" is plural, it refers to individual instances.
-
En vrai, tu peux pas tout contrôler, faut que tu l'acceptes
➔ Impersonal construction "il faut que" + subjunctive
➔ "Il faut que" expresses necessity. Because it's an impersonal construction (it is necessary), it requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. "acceptes" is the subjunctive form of "accepter".
