Key Grammar Structures
-
On est méchant ici, on est des guerriers.
➔ Present tense, use of 'on' as an impersonal pronoun.
➔ The sentences use the present tense to describe a current state or fact. The pronoun **'on'** acts similarly to 'we' but is more informal.
-
Viens nous tester, faut croire en Dieu.
➔ Imperative mood ('Viens'), and use of 'faut' (falloir) expressing necessity.
➔ The imperative **'Viens'** (come) gives a command. **'Faut'** (it is necessary) expresses obligation or need.
-
J'suis dans la polygamie.
➔ Use of 'dans' (in) to express location or involvement. Contraction of 'Je suis' to 'J'suis'.
➔ **'Dans'** indicates being *in* a situation. 'J'suis' is a common contraction of **'Je suis'** (I am).
-
J'baise Apple et Spotify.
➔ Use of the verb 'baise' (informal for 'to have sex with') figuratively, illustrating a dominant attitude. Present tense.
➔ The verb **'baise'**, while vulgar, is used metaphorically to show dominance over Apple and Spotify. The present tense indicates a continuous action or a general statement.
-
Enculé, check le ciel, regarde Cheikh Anta, comment il vole.
➔ Use of an expletive ('Enculé'), followed by imperative verbs (check, regarde) and the relative clause 'comment il vole'.
➔ This line contains a vulgar word (**'Enculé'**). It then provides commands **'check'** and **'regarde'**. The relative clause **'comment il vole'** (how he flies) describes how Cheikh Anta flies.
-
J'ai mon poing, j'ai toujours ma machette.
➔ Use of the present perfect 'j'ai' (I have), indicating possession. Repetition for emphasis.
➔ The phrases use **'j'ai'** (I have) to show possession of a fist and a machete. The repetition emphasizes what the speaker possesses.
-
J'fais que pour les Wattsa.
➔ Contraction of 'Je fais' to 'J'fais' (I do), followed by the preposition 'pour' (for), and a plural noun.
➔ The sentence indicates what the speaker does, emphasizing who it's *for*. 'J'fais' is another contraction, and 'pour' indicates the purpose.
-
C'est soit on est riche, soit on Diakh.
➔ Use of 'soit...soit' (either...or) to present alternatives. 'C'est' indicates 'it is'.
➔ **'Soit...soit'** sets up a choice between two possibilities (rich or Diakh). 'C'est' (it is) introduces the options.
-
J'ai laissé les L comme Diakh.
➔ Use of the past participle 'laissé' (left), indicating a completed action. The use of 'comme' (like/as) implies a comparison.
➔ **'J'ai laissé'** (I left) indicates a past action. **'Comme'** is used for comparison, suggesting a similarity or association.
