Grammaire:

  • You swear that you're stayin' single

    ➔ Présent continu pour exprimer un projet futur avec "staying"

    ➔ L'utilisation de "staying" au présent continu implique une intention ferme ou un arrangement pour rester célibataire. Il est souvent utilisé sarcastiquement ici, laissant entendre que cette intention ne durera pas.

  • You get her laughin' it's 2 AM

    ➔ Causatif "get" + objet + infinitif sans "to"

    "Get her laughin'" signifie que tu la fais rire. Cela utilise "get" de manière causative, signifiant faire faire quelque chose à quelqu'un. L'infinitif sans "to" (laughin') est utilisé en anglais américain lorsqu'il suit "get" sous cette forme.

  • Your old apartment is y'all's new place

    ➔ Pronom possessif "y'all's"

    "Y'all's" est une contraction de "you all's", utilisée en anglais du sud américain comme un pronom possessif équivalent à "your" mais se référant à un groupe de personnes.

  • You're savin' money like never before, just to

    ➔ Expression adverbiale comparative "like never before"

    "Like never before" est une expression idiomatique signifiant que quelque chose se produit à un degré ou une intensité plus grande que jamais auparavant.

  • Just prayin' she don't say no

    ➔ Subjonctif (omission informelle de "that" et "should")

    ➔ La phrase implique "just praying that she doesn't say no" ou "just praying she should not say no". Dans le langage informel, "that" et "should" sont souvent omis après les verbes exprimant un souhait ou un désir, comme "pray".

  • Y'all weren't really tryin'

    ➔ Passé continu négatif avec "y'all"

    ➔ Ceci utilise la forme négative du passé continu ("weren't trying") pour décrire une action en cours dans le passé qui ne se produisait pas. "Y'all" est un pronom de la deuxième personne du pluriel utilisé en anglais du sud américain.

  • Nobody's ever called you that

    ➔ Présent parfait avec "ever" et pronom possessif

    ➔ Le temps présent parfait ("Nobody's ever called") est utilisé pour décrire un événement qui s'est produit à un moment non spécifié dans le passé et qui est pertinent pour le présent. "Ever" souligne que cela ne s'est produit à aucun moment de la vie du locuteur jusqu'à présent.
