Informal French
Elision of the second-person singular subject pronoun tu, before the verbs avoir "to have" and être "to be", is very common in informal speech, but is avoided in careful speech and never used in formal writing:
- Tu as décidé de lui rendre visite, tu es allé voir le film, tu n'étais pas là. ("You decided to visit him/her, you went to see the film, you were not there" in careful speech)
- T'as décidé de lui rendre visite, t'es allé voir le film, t'étais pas là. (In informal speech.)
Note in the third example that the particle of negation ne has been dropped as well, a typical feature of casual speech.

Famous quotes containing the words informal and/or french:
“We as a nation need to be reeducated about the necessary and sufficient conditions for making human beings human. We need to be reeducated not as parents—but as workers, neighbors, and friends; and as members of the organizations, committees, boards—and, especially, the informal networks that control our social institutions and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families and their children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
