Key Grammar Structures
-
Faut que j'te parle
➔ Il faut que + subjunctive
➔ This uses the impersonal expression "il faut" (it is necessary) followed by "que" and the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive is required after "il faut que" to express necessity or obligation. "Te" is the pronoun for you.
-
Ça fait deux mois qu'elle me fait trop peur
➔ "Ça fait...que" to express duration
➔ The structure "ça fait + duration + que + clause" indicates how long something has been happening. Here, it means "It's been two months that she's been scaring me too much."
-
Elle a infiltré mon répondeur
➔ Passé Composé with auxiliary "avoir"
➔ This sentence is in the passé composé, a common past tense in French. It's formed with the auxiliary verb "avoir" and the past participle of the main verb. Here, "a infiltré" is the passé composé of "infiltrer".
-
Elle devient zarre-bi
➔ "Devenir + adjective" to express a change of state
➔ The verb "devenir" (to become) followed by an adjective describes a change in state. "Zarre-bi" is slang for "bizarre". So, "Elle devient zarre-bi" means "She's becoming weird/strange."
-
J'ai tellement peur d'elle, le soir je dors à l'hôtel
➔ "Tellement...que" to express intensity and consequence.
➔ The structure "tellement + adjective/adverb + que + clause" expresses a high degree of something and its consequence. Here, "tellement peur" (so afraid) leads to the consequence "je dors à l'hôtel" (I sleep at the hotel).
-
Qu'est-ce que j'fous avec elle?
➔ Informal question formation with ellipsis and slang.
➔ This is a very informal way to ask "What am I doing with her?". "Qu'est-ce que je fais" is shortened to "Qu'est-ce que j'fous". "Fous" is a slang verb with a meaning similar to "faire" (to do) but it's used in a more crude or exasperated way.
-
Faut pas qu'tu paniques, j'te jure
➔ "Il ne faut pas que + subjunctive" expressing prohibition/advice
➔ Similar to "Il faut que", but with a negative connotation. "Il ne faut pas que" (it's not necessary that) is followed by the subjunctive mood. Here, it's giving advice not to panic. "Je te jure" is "I swear to you", adding emphasis.
