✦Grammar Breakdown
T'asaimétonséjour?
T' (Tu)
This is the informal 'you'. The 'u' is dropped and replaced with an apostrophe because it's followed by a vowel sound ('as'). This contraction is very common in spoken French.
as (avoir)
This is the second person singular conjugation of the verb 'avoir' (to have) in the present tense. It's used here as an auxiliary verb to form the passé composé (past tense).
aimé (aimer)
This is the past participle of the verb 'aimer' (to like/love). When used with 'avoir' in the passé composé, the past participle generally does not agree in gender or number with the subject.
ton (possessive adjective)
'Ton' is the informal masculine singular possessive adjective, meaning 'your'. It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, 'séjour' (which is masculine singular).
séjour (noun)
This masculine noun means 'stay' or 'visit'. It refers to the period of time spent somewhere.

✕Common Mistakes
Tu as aimé votre séjour?
Using 'votre' (your, formal/plural) with 'tu' (you, informal) is grammatically inconsistent. Stick to 'ton' for informal singular 'your'.
Est-ce que tu as aimé ton séjour?
While grammatically correct, adding 'Est-ce que' makes the phrase more formal. The contracted 'T'as' already signals an informal context where 'Est-ce que' is often omitted.
Tu as plu ton séjour?
The verb 'plaire' (to please) is used differently. You would say 'Ton séjour t'a plu?' (Your stay pleased you?). 'Aimer' is the correct verb for 'to like' in this context.

Cultural Tip
The contraction 'T'as' (from 'Tu as') is very common in spoken, informal French. Using it shows a good grasp of natural, everyday conversation. While 'Tu as aimé ton séjour?' is grammatically correct, 'T'as aimé ton séjour?' sounds much more natural among friends. French speakers often omit 'ne' in negative sentences and contract 'tu' with verbs starting with a vowel, reflecting a more relaxed speech style.
