Key Grammar Structures
-
Pourquoi je t'aime et toi, tu m'aimes pas?
➔ Interrogative sentence structure; use of 'pas' for negation
➔ This line is a question asking why the other person doesn't love her while she loves them. "Pourquoi" introduces the question. "pas" negates the verb "aimer".
-
J'comprends pas, j'suis ta gow ou pas?
➔ Informal contraction ('J'comprends' instead of 'Je comprends'); interrogative structure with 'ou pas' to indicate an alternative
➔ "ou pas" at the end of a question asks 'or not?' implying uncertainty about her status as his 'gow' (girlfriend).
-
Emmène-moi là-bas, j'irai où tu iras
➔ Imperative mood ('Emmène-moi'); future tense ('j'irai', 'tu iras'); relative pronoun 'où'
➔ "Emmène-moi" is a command - 'take me'. "J'irai où tu iras" means 'I will go where you will go', using "où" to connect the two parts of the sentence.
-
Et si c'est toi le problème, c'est moi la solution
➔ Conditional sentence structure using 'si'; definite articles ('le problème', 'la solution')
➔ This is a conditional statement expressing that if he is the problem, she is the solution. "Si" introduces the condition.
-
Elle fait la belle mais j'suis plus belle
➔ Comparative adjective ('plus belle'); use of 'faire la/le + adjective' to describe behavior
➔ "Elle fait la belle" means 'She's acting pretty', and "plus belle" means 'more beautiful'. This line contrasts their appearances.
-
Mais si c'est sympa, c'est die, j'te dirais: goodbye
➔ Conditional clause with 'si'; informal contraction ('j'te dirais'); use of 'goodbye' (loanword)
➔ This line means 'But if it's nice, it's over, I'll say goodbye to you.' It uses the conditional 'si' and a casual way to say 'I will tell you'.
