Grammar:
-
La piraterie n'est jamais fini
➔ Negation with "ne...jamais" + passé composé (être + participe passé)
➔ "n'est jamais fini" indicates that something "is never finished". The "ne...jamais" construction signifies 'never'. The passé composé, using "être" as the auxiliary verb, indicates a completed action in the past that has relevance to the present.

Mi aime trop la fèt
➔ Subject pronoun "mi" (Creole influence) + verb conjugation + adverb of quantity + article + noun
➔ "Mi" is a Creole influenced pronoun for "I". "Aime" is the verb "aimer" (to like) conjugated in the first person singular. "Trop" means "too much". This translates to "I like the party too much."
-
Mi casse mon rein comme si mi té KM
➔ Imperfect Subjunctive in "comme si" clauses (Creole Influence)
➔ The phrase "comme si" (as if) introduces a hypothetical situation. Ideally, the verb after "comme si" would be in the imperfect subjunctive. However, in Creole-influenced French, we sometimes see variations in verb conjugation. "Té" here is a Creole shortening of a past tense auxiliary, suggesting a past action and contributing to the overall hypothetical comparison.

Kafrine a soir c'est ou la reine
➔ Use of "c'est" to emphasize a quality or role.
➔ The structure "c'est..." can be used to highlight a specific attribute. Here, it emphasizes that the "Kafrine" is the queen tonight, placing importance on her role.
-
Donc mi veut war aou wyne sa en bien même
➔ Word order variation (Creole influence) + use of "veut" (vouloir) + infinitive + pronoun + verb
➔ The standard French order would be closer to "Donc je veux te voir wyler ça bien". The word order is slightly different due to Creole influence. "Veut" is the conjugated form of "vouloir" (to want).
-
Tant que l'ambiance les doss lé bon sa
➔ "Tant que" conjunction + simplified grammar and pronoun usage (Creole influence)
➔ "Tant que" means "as long as". The sentence shows simplified grammar and pronoun usage, which is a characteristic of Creole influence in French. "lé bon sa" implies "est bon cela" or "is good that".
