Grammar:
-
pte la dalle fait pleuvoir la plata sur la table qui est miséri
➔ Subjunctive Mood (implied), Relative Pronoun
➔ The phrase "qui est miséri" uses the relative pronoun "qui" and implies a state of misery, possibly warranting a subjunctive construction in a more formal context. In informal speech, indicative is used. Implies desire for change.
-
algéri on fait de l'argent tu as vu
➔ Informal Verb Conjugation, Use of "Tu"
➔ "On" is used instead of "nous" (standard French) and the verb "faire" is conjugated accordingly in the informal style. The use of "tu" indicates informality.
-
maman je suis devenue un rageux ils ont la rage ça me fait rire Donc forcément j'en rajoute
➔ Use of 'en' (pronoun), causal conjunction, verb of emotion
➔ "J'en rajoute" uses "en" to replace a previously mentioned noun or idea (probably the rage or money). "Donc" acts as a causal conjunction, linking the cause (their rage making him laugh) to the effect (him adding more). The verb 'faire rire' is a verb of emotion (to make laugh).
-
c'est en me noyant que j'ai appris à nager
➔ Cleft Sentence (C'est...que)
➔ This is a cleft sentence used for emphasis. It emphasizes the action of drowning as the means of learning to swim. It literally translates to "It is by drowning myself that I learned to swim."
-
dans mes DM il y a des bonbons elle pense m'avoir parce qu'elle est trop bonne
➔ Impersonal Construction (Il y a), Subjunctive (Implied), Causal Clause
➔ "Il y a des bonbons" is an impersonal construction used to indicate existence. The phrase "elle pense m'avoir" implies uncertainty; the subjunctive could be used in a more formal setting depending on the level of doubt. "Parce qu'elle est trop bonne" introduces a causal clause (because she's too attractive).
-
de façon j'ai le cœur vite comme ça bonbonne entre nous c'est mort ma chérie solo regarde ma série
➔ Figurative Language (heart filled quickly), Informal Syntax, Impersonal Expression (c'est mort)
➔ "J'ai le cœur vite" is a figurative expression meaning his heart is not available to form relationships. "C'est mort" is an impersonal and informal expression meaning "it's over". Syntax is relatively colloquial.
-
tu étais pas là dans les galères tu seras pas là dans le viano
➔ Negative Past Tense, Future Tense, Conditional Mood (implied)
➔ Uses the negative past tense ("tu étais pas là") to describe a past absence and the future tense ("tu seras pas là") to predict a future absence. It implies a conditional connection: since you weren't there during the hard times, you won't be there during the good times either.
