Key Grammar Structures

• Et elle sait qu'j'y vais fort (fort), qu'on va pas plaisanter (jamais)

  ➔ Informal Negation, Contractions & Adverbial Pronoun 'y'

  ➔ This line showcases several features of spoken French: - Informal negation: The particle "ne" is omitted before the verb ("on va "pas" plaisanter" instead of "on "ne" va pas plaisanter"). This is very common in spoken French. - Contractions: "qu'j'y" is a contraction of "que je y". "qu'on" is "que on". These are standard contractions. - Adverbial pronoun "y": In "j'y vais fort", "y" replaces a place or an idea introduced by "à". Here, it likely refers to the "game" or "relationship" mentioned in context.

• Du coup j'les prends toutes (toutes)

  ➔ Informal Connector 'Du coup'

  ➔ ""Du coup"" is an informal but extremely common conversational connector in French, meaning "as a result", "so", "consequently", or "all of a sudden". It introduces a consequence or a new development. It's often used loosely to link ideas.

• Elle a que l'cash dans la tête

  ➔ Informal Restrictive Negation 'ne...que'

  ➔ This is an informal usage of the restrictive negation ""ne...que"", which means "only". In spoken French, the "ne" particle is frequently omitted, leaving just ""que"" (or ""qu'"" before a vowel) to convey the meaning of "only". The full formal phrase would be "Elle "n'"a "que" l'cash dans la tête".

• elle s'fait des films sur nous deux

  ➔ Idiomatic Pronominal Verb 'se faire des films'

  ➔ ""Se faire des films"" is an idiomatic pronominal expression in French that means "to imagine things", "to have illusions", "to create scenarios in one's mind that are not real or are exaggerated". It implies a disconnection from reality.

• Me faire un bébé, elle veut (quoi)

  ➔ Informal Inversion & 'Faire' (Causative/Idiomatic)

  ➔ This line demonstrates two informal grammatical features: - Informal Inversion: The direct object and infinitive phrase (""Me faire un bébé"") is placed at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis, followed by the subject and verb (""elle veut""). In standard French, it would typically be "Elle veut me faire un bébé." - "Faire" (Causative/Idiomatic): Here, ""faire un bébé"" means "to have a baby" or "to make a baby". This is an idiomatic use of "faire", which often takes on a causative meaning ("to cause something to be done").

• En détente, j'la fais crier sans vocodeur (on y va)

  ➔ Causative Construction with 'Faire'

  ➔ The construction ""faire"" + infinitive is known as the causative ""faire"". It means "to make someone do something" or "to have something done by someone". Here, ""j'la fais crier"" means "I make her scream" or "I cause her to scream". The direct object pronoun ("la") precedes "faire".

• Mais ils veulent que j'retourne au tieks comme Adriano (Adriano)

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'Vouloir'

  ➔ The verb ""vouloir"" (to want) requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause when the subject of "vouloir" is different from the subject of the action in the subordinate clause. Here, "ils" want "je" (j') to return, hence ""j'retourne"" (subjunctive of "retourner").

• Y a que des lolos chargés comme Adriana (Adriana)

  ➔ Informal Restrictive 'il y a que'

  ➔ This is the informal, highly common spoken version of the restrictive expression ""il n'y a que"", meaning "there is/are only". The "ne" particle is omitted, and "il y a" is often contracted to ""y a"". It restricts the statement to what follows.

• t'en peux us-p (pute)

  ➔ Informal Negation & Verlan 'us-p' + Adverbial Pronoun 'en'

  ➔ This phrase contains advanced informal French: - Informal Negation: The "ne" particle is omitted, so "tu "n"'en peux plus" becomes ""t'en peux plus"". - Verlan: ""Us-p"" is the Verlan form of ""plus"". Verlan is a type of argot in French where syllables of a word are inverted. - Adverbial Pronoun "en": ""En"" replaces a noun introduced by "de" or refers to quantity. Here, "tu n'en peux plus" means "you can't take it anymore" or "you're exhausted", where "en" refers to the situation or effort.
